It is even more weird this add-on provides just a search engine!  It's not as 
if the add-on is related to a media player, or something you could expect it 
might need to touch audio.

I tried it on a plasma desktop and I can replicate the problem.  However, I 
noticed if I go into Configure Audio Devices and select 'Analogue Stereo' and 
then 'Analogue Stereo Duplex' back & forth, the audio starts playing again.  
This is with a hard wired audio, no bluetooth.

Any idea what the difference is between the various StartPage add-ons?  Is 
StartPage to be trusted, anymore than all the rest mass surveillance 
corporates?
