Describe the Bug

The audio comes from the Microsoft Edge WebView2 application. Every time I restart Cider, the audio output device selected for that application resets to the default device.

For context, I use GoXLR with a separate Music channel that I want Cider to go to. As of the current situation, I have to change it manually in Windows every time I start Cider. This has been an issue only recently, previously it was persistent.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set a non-default audio device as output for Cider (in Windows Volume mixer, Microsoft Edge WebView2).
2. Listen to music
3. Restart Cider or possibly your PC
4. Relaunch Cider, the audio device has reset to Windows default
