No sound in Brave stable on Android 13 (Realme 9 Speed Edition), works in Beta

I’m facing an issue where no sound plays in the Brave stable browser on my Realme 9 Speed Edition running Android 13. This happens on all sites, including YouTube. I’ve tried all common fixes:

Site sound permissions checked

Volume is up

Cleared cache/data

Reinstalled Brave

Disabled battery saver and focus mode

Tried guest profile

No other apps interfere

Disabled Hardware Acceleration

Interestingly, I installed Brave Beta, and sound works perfectly there. So the issue seems specific to the stable release on my device.

Device Info:

Device: Realme 9 Speed Edition

Android version: 13

Brave version (stable): 1.79.118

Brave Beta version: 1.80.95

Would appreciate if this could be looked into. Thanks!

@rudrathakur can you please launch Brave and go to Settings --> Site settings scroll down to Sound and ensure that it is set to Allowed?

Yes, I have done it already.
