Aha -- so you are using pipewire's pulseaudio emulation? Search engineering (hah) turns up some noises like this [1] which at least suggest to tinker with sandbox settings. They might have painted themselves again into a corner by not allowing some processes to see some paths in the file system. Granted, this is just a thin thing to go by, sorry. I hate browsers.
