Android Question Issue with app running on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, S5, etc.

[flyingpole]

I'm having an issue that seems to only occur on Samsung products (specifically Galaxy Tab2 and S5). The app crashes when executing the following code using the media player functions. This error does not occur on six other brands of Android tablet that I've tried it on, only the Samsungs. Has anyone else had this issue and have a solution??

mp.Load(File.DirAssets, "alarm_beep.wav")

mp.SetVolume(1, 1)
mp.Play
Do While mp.IsPlaying = True 'if alarm is playing wait
DoEvents
Loop

Here is the error that is thrown.

Note that you shouldn't use such code.

Never try to block the main thread. It will not work.

You should instead use the Complete event.

About this error, this specific device is unable to decode this wave file. You can try to switch to a different format or use Try / Catch to catch this error.
