Microsoft Edge allows autoplay with sound by default. However, Edge users can set global and per-site preferences for autoplay controls as of the October 2018 Windows 10 update with Edge version 44. Edge also now suppresses autoplay of media in background tabs automatically. See Autoplay Policies for more information.
