nativeAudio works using browser platform, not with android

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi,

if I run ionic cordova run browser the following code works fine. However if I run ionic cordova run android it doesn’t work and I get a java.io.IOException: Prepare failed.: status=0x1

    this.nativeAudio.preloadSimple('BirdSong', 'assets/sfx/file.ogg').then(()=>{

    }).catch((ex)=>{
        console.log(ex);
    });

I am running this code when platform.ready() and/or when I click a button but no luck. Am I missing something obvious?

If I purposely try to load an audio file I know doesn’t exist I get a different error stating the file was not found (expected behaviour, more a case of me proving to myself that it’s at least trying to load the file)

java.io.FileNotFoundException: www/assets/sfx/NOT_FOUNDbirdsong.ogg

Thanks
-Chris

OK so the issue is, it doesn’t like ogg files it seems!

Works fine with an mp3.
