Media API not working on Windows Phone 8 (WP8)

[karimlsl]

I am doing an app using Phonegap or Cordova 2.5.0 for Windows Phone 7 & 8. I am able to play sounds using the Media API on WP7 but for some reason this is not working on WP8. Has anyone tested this on WP8? Is there any special setups?

Thanks for your help,

Karim

Adding more information, I see the following errors when a sound is triggered in the app:

 

- The thread 0xb04 has exited with code 259 (0x103).

- A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in TestApp WP8.DLL

- An exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in TestApp WP8.DLL and wasn't handled before a managed/native boundary

 

 

Thanks for your help

1. Make sure you are including the audio file as a resource to the VS project.

2. If you are running on WP7 ( and Windows 7 ) on the device, the Zune software causes an issue when connected.

If neither of these is the issue, please post a brief example that demonstrates the issue, and I will have a look.

Also, you can ignore debug output like this [1] 

The first line just shows that a thread was created and exitted.  Every API gets a new thread, so there are many of these.

The next 2 lines just mean that an exception was thrown, ( and caught, otherwise the app would crash ) 

[1]

- The thread 0xb04 has exited with code 259 (0x103).

- A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in TestApp WP8.DLL

- An exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in TestApp WP8.DLL and wasn't handled before a managed/native boundary

I am having a similar issue. I can get Android to play sound using the Cordova 2.5 media object. However Windows Phone 7 and 8 is not playing sound. And I am not getting error messages.
Anyone have any progress on this issue?

I am also having the same problem with version 2.7.  Here is the output, this is from the point I first load the code, I then hit my button the first time and get nothing, hit it a second time and it plays the sound, but in all cases there seems to be errors and more going on than should be.  like i appears the success fires more than the one success..  Out put and my code below...
