Answer 3

AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID doesn't work with MP3 files on the device. If you use that method, try converting it to WAV and let me know if it worked! If not, explain a bit what code you use to play the sound.

Answer 4

When a file works in the simulator and not the device it could be the string case of your file name. iphone devices is case sensitive for file names.
