Description
### Before submitting a new issue
- [x] I tested using the latest version of the library, as the bug might be already fixed.
- [x] I tested using a [supported version](https://github.com/reactwg/react-native-releases/blob/main/docs/support.md) of react native.
- [x] I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.
### Bug summary
When using react-native-nitro-sound, sound playback works perfectly in debug builds but fails silently in release builds on Android.
- No JavaScript error is thrown
- No native crash occurs
- The sound simply does not play
The same code and same sound file work in debug
