Android Phonegap HTML5 Audio tag doesn't work

Hello guys i hope you can help me with this problem...

I use Phonegap 3.1 and jQuery Mobile 1.4 ... Android 4.1.2

When I test the app in Firefox the audio player works perfect but when tested on the phone the player is visible but when I click on play nothing happens ...

Tried mp3 and ogg so it should support all browsers...

I saw lot lot of threads on StackOverflow ... even tried MediaElement.js as suggested ... but nothing seems to work ...
I know about the native media API ... but I really don't want to use it ... So I wonder if anyone has found a solution with this annoying problem ?

Thanks

if I use a .ogg file from a server it plays the sound ... but it only plays once and then is imposible to replay ... – LitBe
i'm currently searching for the same answer to this question. found out that chrome blocks autoplay on android and your app is essentially in-browser. don't know if this matters – Daniel Cheung
