Sound playback when Previewing on Device (iPad Pro 11") not working

Hi! 

I am currently working on an app prototype that requires sound playback, like a soundboard. The functionality is integrated perfectly fine in XD and it works great when previewing on my desktop!

 

However, when launching the file on my iPad (via USB or via cloud storage, XD app), no sound plays whatsoever. Hotspot Hints indicate that the sounds are included in the version running on the iPad, but nothing happens when touching it.  Does anyone know what could be the cause of this? Thanks!

    Same issue here. I have all my apps updated to the lastest version and I can't play sounds on my Iphone of any kind into my prototypes.

    Also when I have TWO TIME TRIGGERED actions (as playing a sound and reproducing a Lottie animation) both don't work at all. No sound. No animation.  Phewww... what a bug, folks!

    Hi @peterk86457505,

     

    I am sorry for the trouble. I am checking with the team for an update on this issue. Could you please share the version of XD installed and the details of your operating system?

     

    I will try my best to help.

     

    Thanks,

    Harshika

    I am having the same issue. Fully current versions of XD iOS app as well as desktop app. Fully current versions of iOS and macOS on the hardware.

     

    This is completely nuts! I gather the team has fully stopped developing XD and we are meant to transition everything to Figma? Absolutely bananas.

    Hi,

    I have added sound to a button in my app prototype. The Action type is Audio Playback and I have attached a .wav file. When I preview the file on system it plays the sound but when i preview it on my android phone it doesn't play the sound. Also tried with .mp3 but dosen't work on mobile. The document is saved on cloud documents. I even checked mobile settings and app permissions, but all in vain.

    Please help!

    Thanks
