I want to play a sound on my mobile application (android and IOS)

So I've Added the sound file under the “Resource/Raw” folder with BuildAction=MauiAsset
and Added Nuget package "Plugin.Maui.Audio"

and used below code to play the sound

var audioPlayer = AudioManager.Current.CreatePlayer(await FileSystem.OpenAppPackageFileAsync("myaudio.mp3"));

 audioPlayer.Play();

but I'm getting FileNotFoundException exception.

    Hello,

    For playing media files, MAUI provides an official solution.

    You could refer to MediaElement, and the following code sample:

    After installing CommunityToolkit.Maui and CommunityToolkit.Maui.MediaElement, you could use the following code to play myaudio.mp3:

                builder
                .UseMauiApp<App>()
                .UseMauiCommunityToolkit()
               .UseMauiCommunityToolkitMediaElement()


<toolkit:MediaElement Source="embed://myaudio.mp3" ShouldAutoPlay="True"/>

    Best Regards,

    Alec Liu.
