Describe the bug

On some devices, LiveKit doesn't select audio device in PreJoin (nor inside call) even though LiveKit sees several audio devices. Camera is selected correctly. After joining call, the sound is transmitted correctly, but in MediaSelectDevice there is still nothing selected

const audioDevices = useMediaDevices({ kind: 'audioinput' })
console.log('audioDevices length:', audioDevices.length) // audioDevices length: 2

console.log(userChoices.audioDeviceId) // ''
console.log(userChoices.videoDeviceId) // 'abc123def...'

it happens on https://meet.livekit.io as well
