We need to figure out whether this is due to a monitor or due to a
null sink. Could you please let the browser play to your speakers, and
WSJT-X record from the monitor of the sound card that the browser is
playing to? Does it work?

Is the webrtc feed public? I.e., can I run WSJT-X locally in order to
reproduce the issue?
