I just spoke to some developers from Google about this issue recently. I submitted a bug. They have been very helpful.

Even though autoplay policy chrome flag was removed in https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1593800, you can still run Chrome with a specific autoplay policy from the command line.

Autoplay policy that does not require any user gesture.

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required

They say this command will stay, so that's good but even better Chrome allows you to always enable autoplay by explicitly allowing a website to make sound "Site Settings > Sound"

Good luck.
