By newest update (v66.0) Google Chrome doesn't play audio/video automatically without user's interaction.
I'm using Chrome as desktop app in Kiosk mode without mouse/keyboard and input at all. It just displays HTML visualization page with sound included and autoplayed.
Can it be avoided somehow and played by default?
In their Autoplay Policy Changes description haven't found solution.
I was also looking for some command line switch to include it by running Chrome and also unsuccessfully.

Launch Chrome and in the Address Bar type: chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy and hit Enter. That will bring you directly to the flag that you need to change. From the drop-down box, change the setting from Default to “Document user activation is required” and relaunch the browser.
Windows. Right-click on the Chrome desktop icon >> Properties >> Append chrome.exe --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required to the end of the Target field >> Apply and OK. That's it, starting Chrome with this shortcut won't require the user to play media manually.
The actual Chrome policy is: Autoplay with sound is (only) allowed if: The user has interacted with the domain (click, tap, etc.). On desktop, the user's Media Engagement Index (MEI) threshold has been crossed, meaning the user has previously played video with sound.
Step 1 - Open the Google Chrome browser. Step 3 - Click the Autoplay policy drop-down and select "No user gesture is required." This will make it so that you don't need to intereact with the page in order for the video or audio to start playing automatically. Step 4 - Restart the browser.
Go to chrome://flags/, start typing autop in the search field, and find ...
Autoplay policy
Policy used when deciding if audio or video is allowed to autoplay. – Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android
The option No user gesture is required sounds like it should do what you want.
chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy
