 Hello,

 A client of ours spotted an issue where the media element for playing
 audio used in the classic editor wasn't displaying properly on the front
 end. We'd not made any changes apart from routine plugin/core updates and
 after some investigation I noticed that the CSS and JS weren't being
 enqueued, I've tested this on a previous version on WordPress (6.8.2) and
 it worked and displayed perfectly fine so I can only assume this issue has
 been introduced in the latest version of WordPress (6.9)

 To resolve this until a proper fix is pushed, I've manually enqueued these
 assets using:

 {{{
 function enqueue_media() {
     wp_enqueue_script( 'wp-mediaelement' );
     wp_enqueue_style( 'wp-mediaelement' );
 }
 add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_media' );
 }}}
