Type-answer fields strip all media (and formatting), so it seems likely that’s the reason.

Although that does present an interesting idea for OP – making it a type-answer field so the media doesn’t play. And then use other formatting techniques – [Editing type in answer formatting - #5 by Danika\_Dakika](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/editing-type-in-answer-formatting/66916/5) – to skip over the typing/comparison parts of that functionality.
