2. Before you record anything press play on any message
3. Observe the problem
4. Additionally - start & stop recording and then try playing any audio again.
5. Problem is gone.

Player should play from cold start with sound.

I am able to reproduce it on the example project no need to any other repo. Not sure what is the trigger for the cause, it's important that you do not try to record before you press play. Even after you pressed record you have to re-build the app, flutter restart is not enough you have to kill the app and this issue should be present on first run
