Random audio sounds not working on device

Hey guys,

This is the craziest experience I have had with Corona thus far.  Last night I was finishing up an app to publish today, all the sounds played back on my iPad just fine.  Today I tested once more on device before submitting to apple, and I have found that some of the sounds do not play!

I have NO idea what might have happened, I haven’t changed any code files or audio files.  I have checked file names so they are exactly correct in code and file name.

Strangely, on Android all the sounds play back just fine, but not on IOS.  All sounds work great in the simulator.

Any ideas? Has anyone come across this before?

I just made a test app that is just a button that loads and plays one of the sounds that doesn’t work in my other app and it does work correctly on the iPad.  I had tried to use channels when playing sounds, maybe I screwed something up there.

Alright, solved it.  It was folder names in my project… ugh.

I keep my project in Dropbox and it must have reverted some how.  Yesterday I had fixed folder names that had the wrong case on some letters, today they are back to how they were before some how.

Hope this helps someone.  Triple check your files and folders names!

NOTE: I found out that Dropbox does NOT update folder names when you change them on a computer.

My issue came from fixing my folder names on my desktop PC, and then I was trying to build on my Macbook Pro, the folder names did not get updated and thus my audio issues were still a problem on my macbook.
