Browsers not playing OGG or WEBM audios

For a while now, my browsers don't seem to play specific audio types, audio types like MP3 seem to work without a hitch, but the moment I try and watch a WEBM, there's no audio at all, even if I unmute everything and raise the volume slider all the way up

Take for example my website: https://rootpain.com/guestbook.html

There's a song playing on the Guestbook, and while I can't hear it on my PC, I can hear it without any issues on my cellphone

I'm currently using XFCE Artix Linux, using Pipewire.

Works for me even in my blocking extension heavy Firedragon once I allowed the page to play audio.
Worked straight away in vanilla Chrome and ungoogled_chromium.

Try starting the browsers from a terminal and see if there are any errors on the command line both before and after loading the page.

I've started both browsers from the terminal and no errors at all, and I did the same with wireplumber, pipewire and pipewire-pulse and no errors either

I also did a clean install and nothing
Is there any other way to monitor the audio being used on the overall computer?
