Audio becomes muted if first video in home is a sponsored one

[oystermon]

Hi all,

I have had this issue where the audio gets muted sometimes, and I read somewhere it's happens when the first video in the "home" page is a sponsored one.
I have been working around this based on a solution someone proposed - which is to go to the gaming tab and hover over the first video.. and switch back.

Is there any way to fix it? These are the times when I wish I knew a bit of js. Thanks.
