Sound doesn't play on built standalone version of Expo app (iOS and Android) using expo-av

Question

When testing it through Expo app on phones and simulator, everything works perfectly. The problem is when I build the app and test it on an Android device or in iOS simulator, the sound doesn't play.

import { Audio } from 'expo-av';

const SomeComponent => () => {
  const [sound, setSound] = useState();

  const playSound = async () => {
    const { sound } = await Audio.Sound.createAsync(
      require('../../../assets/sounds/sound.mp3'),
      { shouldPlay: true }
    );
    setSound(sound);

    await sound.playAsync();
  };

  return <TouchableOpacity onPress={playSound} />
}

Versions:

"expo": "^40.0.0",
"expo-av": "~8.7.0",
"react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-40.0.1.tar.gz",

Tried also unloading the sound after it's done and it still doesn't work:

await sound
      .playAsync()
      .then(async (playbackStatus) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          sound.unloadAsync();
        }, playbackStatus.playableDurationMillis);
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        console.log(error);
      });
