Setting global volume before loading not taking effect

[celynw]

I'm loving this library, thanks!
This is not #233.

I'm setting the global volume before loading any sounds, using:

Howler.volume(slider.value / 100.0);

When querying, it reports as expected (I have the slider value set to 10/100).
This is true at every point (now, after loading a sound, when the sound is playing).

console.log(Howler.volume());
=> 0.1

But it's actually playing at full volume.
I know this because once something is playing I can move the slider 1px which fires off Howler.volume again, and it immediately goes quieter back to the requested value.

It seems to be fine if I unload, then load a new track and play it, so I think it's only before Howler loads a track for the first time.

I have exactly the same issue at the moment. Setting Howler.volume(0); from a config file > Loading sounds > Play sound which plays at full volume.

Update: The problem exists on Chrome 53 which I'm using in an embedded game platform on Android. Chrome 77 desktop seems fine.

Update2: I've managed to work around the issue by setting volume(1) then volume(0) before the first sample plays.

This should be fixed with #1210.
