Cap 7 no audio on build?

[JohnRSim]

Having a strange issue where no audio comes out if I build and deploy to my device ie -
I'm using the example code from the repo to test with.

npx cap run android --target RFCWC12A1JB

If I use this and select the play button I can see the play works looking at console logs and that android has the audio display in notifications panel but no sound plays?

if I enable hot reloading audio works fine -

npm run dev -- --host 0.0.0.0
npx cap run android --target RFCWC12A1JB --live-reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5173 --forwardPorts 5173:5173

Not sure what is stopping the audio - when I build the app vs loading the shell and having hot reload in place?

I have this issue too 😬 I think it's because native land cannot resolve Capacitor's localhost locally. When using hot reload, it can because it's an external server.

So if I load from filesystem instead of from app static path it should work.. 🤞

I believe so when I looked into it though I haven't tried it myself. Please report back if it works!

That fixed it, build deploy and call direct from filesystem for me

const mainAudioHref = '/storage/emulated/0/Download/Empty/test.mp3';

Probably best to update the example or post a note to use file picker or copy files from assets to play
