expo-av playing sounds not working on android

Expo SDK
1

Expo SDK 49

This is the code:

if (!source) {
      log.debug("Could not find source for type: " + type);
      return;
    }
    Audio.Sound.createAsync(source, {
      shouldPlay: true,
    })
      .then((res) => {
        log.debug("Sound created async", res);
        res.sound.setOnPlaybackStatusUpdate((status: AVPlaybackStatus) => {
          log.debug("Sound status: ", status);
          if (!status.isLoaded && status.error) {
            log.debug("Error playing sound: ", status.error);
          }
          if (status.isLoaded && !status.didJustFinish) return;
          log.debug("Unloading sound" + type);
          res.sound.unloadAsync().catch((error) => {
            log.debug("Error unloading sound: ", error);
          });
        });
        res.sound.setStatusAsync({
          shouldPlay: true,
          volume: 1,
        });        
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        log.debug("playSound error: ", error);
      });

This will trigger these log outputs.

But no sound is every played. And no more statuses are received…
Any ideas?

I have a similar problem. Yesterday it worked, I updated some libraries. It stopped working.

I haven’t found what library caused it. Yet. Can you post your packages.json?
