kovidgoyal, sorry if it's a stupid question. I googled a little (I guess I can't put a link here) and found that I need to force QtWebEngine to use ALSA. In embedded systems, it is disabled by default.

So do I need to recompile QtWebEngine with an additional flag to allow audio and then somehow rebuild the whole Calibre?
Maybe you could add option to use system QtWebEngine instead of embedded one? I don't have problems with audio on default pyqt5 QWebEngineView.
