    });
    if (this.sound) {
      this.sound.play(this.playComplete);
      this.setState({playState: 'playing'});
    } else {
     //
      const filepath = pathFile + '/' + path.filename;

      this.sound = new Sound(filepath, null, error => {
        if (error) {
          console.log('failed to load the sound', error);
          Alert.alert('Notice', 'audio file error. (Error code : 1)');
          this.setState({playState: 'paused'});
        } else {
          this.setState({
            playState: 'playing',
            duration: this.sound.getDuration(),
          });

Hi.. Same problem in Samsung S9+ Device.. sound.mp3 cannot play

[luigbren]

my friends.. my solution was put the code into mountcomponent..

constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
     };
    sound = null
  }

componentDidMount =() => {
    this.sound = new Sound('mysound.mp3', Sound.MAIN_BUNDLE, (error) => {
      if (error) {
        console.log('failed to load the sound', error);
        return;
      }
    });
}

and then turn on when you want.... this.sound.play();

Note: Android: Save your sound clip files under the directory android/app/src/main/res/raw. Note that files in this directory must be lowercase and underscored (e.g. my_file_name.mp3) and that subdirectories are not supported by Android.

What if We need to access the Download Directory? Fetch from Director and play? Could please provide any solution for this scenario?
