Audio not playing sometimes

[CodeWithOz]

Bug Report

Problem

Sound doesn't play even when there's no error

What is expected to happen?

The sound comes out from the device as expected when I play the audio object.

What does actually happen?

I have 2 test devices, and on one of them the sound plays but on the other it was playing earlier today but has stopped playing now. The sound doesn't play even though the volume is set to 1.0 and the status callback shows the status as going from 1 to 2 then to 4.

Information

This may sound similar to this issue but I'm not getting the abort error that's reported there.

Command or Code

This is the code I use to play media:

export function playNewMsgAudio(isSend = false) {
    const audioObj = new Media(
        `${cordova.file.applicationDirectory}www/audio/${
            isSend ? 'send' : 'recv'
        }-msg.mp3`,
        () => {},
        error =>
            logError(
                'failed to initialize audio object for sent message',
                { error }
            ),
        status => {
            switch (status) {
                case Media.MEDIA_PAUSED:
                case Media.MEDIA_STOPPED:
                    audioObj.release();
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
            }
        }
    );
    audioObj.play();
    audioObj.setVolume('1.0');
}
