Plugin.Maui.Audio worked great for me. I added it through Nuget in Visual Studio. https://github.com/jfversluis/Plugin.Maui.Audio – gadildafissh Jan 07 '23 at 19:12

I assume this preview solution is now obsolete. See [antonio's more recent answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/75468324/199364) for discussion of MediaElement. That should be the accepted answer now. – ToolmakerSteve Jun 17 '23 at 03:09

.NET Maui (feb,2023), still in preview on VS2022.

There is another way to play audio/video (mp3/mp4) in .NET MAUI: MediaElement control of Communitytoolkit (CommunityToolkit.Maui.MediaElement) with support for Android/iOS/Windows/Tizen/Mac. Use NUGet to install.

Put local files in "Resources/Raw" with BuildAction=MauiAsset

Inside a contentPage (xaml/c#)

<toolkit:MediaElement x:Name="correctMediaElement" IsVisible="false"
            Source="embed://crrect_answer2.mp3" />

internal static void PlaySound(MediaElement me)
{
    var preset = MauiProgram.Preset;
    if (me.CurrentState != CommunityToolkit.Maui.Core.Primitives.MediaElementState.Stopped &&
        me.CurrentState != CommunityToolkit.Maui.Core.Primitives.MediaElementState.Paused)
    {
        me.Stop();
    }
    if (preset != null)
    {
        switch (preset.BuzzerVolume)
        {
            case Volume.Off:
                me.Volume = 0.0;
                break;
            case Volume.Low:
                me.Volume = 0.2;
                break;
            case Volume.Medium:
                me.Volume = 0.7;
                break;
            case Volume.High:
                me.Volume = 1.0;
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
    }

    if (me.Position != TimeSpan.Zero)
    {
        //Will Play sound here
        me.SeekTo(TimeSpan.Zero);
    }
    else if (me.CurrentState != CommunityToolkit.Maui.Core.Primitives.MediaElementState.Playing)
    {
        me.Play();
    }
}

Currently, Maui does not have any audio playback framework. And there are some relative known issues in maui, you can follow them here:

https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/7152 .

https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Maui/issues/113

Thanks for your feedback and support for maui.

This answer might be obsolete. See [antonio's more recent answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/75468324/199364), which discusses `MediaElement control of Communitytoolkit`. – ToolmakerSteve Jun 17 '23 at 03:04

Should use "file:///storage/..." instead of "filesystem:///storage/..." to read local media in android.
