🐛 Description
The audio filtering functionality fails to trigger when seeking, rewinding, or fast-forwarding a video. While the visual masking (captions) continues to work, the profane audio is audible immediately after manipulating the video timeline. This has been observed specifically on YouTube.

🔀 Steps To Reproduce
Open a YouTube video containing profanity.

Ensure the extension is enabled with caption settings set to "Hide all".

Use the video player controls to seek, rewind, or fast-forward to a different timestamp.

Listen to the audio as the video resumes playback.

✔️ Expected behavior
The audio filter should remain active and mute profanity consistently, regardless of seeking or jumping to different parts of the video timeline.

📷 Screenshots
No screenshots applicable for audio issues.

💻 Details
Device: PC

OS: Windows 11

Browser: Chrome

Browser Version: [Latest]

Extension Version: 4.3.6

Affected site(s): YouTube.com

📝 Additional context
The issue is isolated to the audio filtering; visual caption hiding persists correctly.

This occurs during both backward (rewind) and forward seeking.

Tested exclusively on YouTube so far.
