@abhimanyu are you still facing the issue or you made it work. I am facing same issue with CallKit.

As per my understanding in WebRTC M60 release they have fixed on issue related to CallKit, which I think created a side effect and caused this issue.

The issue which they have fixed is related to System AudioSession, when ever CallKit presents incoming call UI and play ringer tone CallKit takes control of AudioSession and after user action (accept/ decline) it releases control. In WebRTC M60 release, now they have added observers for this control exchange. That's why it is working if app is in foreground, but if phone is locked and any incoming call is accepted then (I am assuming you are using CallKit UI for call and not redirecting user to App on accept from lock screen) due to Native UI of call it is not possible for WebRTC to activate its own AudioSession instance as call is going through CallKit Screen.

If you found any workaround for this issue please let me know.
