Audio is silenced when output is changed

[TaylorDale]

Description

For both iOS and Android, the AudioContext will only ever play on the first device output that it was created in (Speakerphone, bluetooth device).

When a device is connected (or, start with the device and then disconnect), the audio will be silent. (From what I can see, all callbacks still register as if the audio was actually playing - but it's silent). If you switch back to the first output at that point, it's still also broken.

Checked both iOS + Android, ensured device volume was up etc.

Steps to reproduce

1. Launch any example audio demo that creates an AudioContext (with device set to play out speakers)
2. Play the audio to confirm working with speaker
3. Switch the audio output (connect bluetooth device, or set the output in control panel) to something else
4. Try to play the sound, no sound.
