I don't know if this would apply to your situation, but something 
identical happened to me on an Android device. It took me three days to 
track it down. Apparently the duration of the sound file was too short. 
I had to add silence to the end to make it last longer than a second or 
so. After that it would play.

The thing is, even the original very short files played in the IDE so 
that may not be what's wrong here. But you could try editing the files 
in a sound editor if nothing else works.

See "playLoudness" in the dictionary. Why it doesn't have the word 
"sound" or "volume" in its name is a secret only the MetaCard creator 
knew. I can never remember it.
