Windows Phone 8 App Failed Certification

I recently submitted a very simple app to the WP app store that is basically buttons that play sounds on click. However, the app failed certification for the following reason(s):

Comments: Result: Fail
The application terminates unexpectedly in response to user input. Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Play music from music+videos hub and Launch the application.
  2. Tap on any option from MY APPS NAME HERE.
  3. Notice the application unexpectedly terminates. Comments: Result: Fail The application terminates unexpectedly in response to user input. Steps to reproduce:
  4. Play music on the device from the Music + Videos Hub.
  5. Launch the application.
  6. Press the device's universal volume control.
  7. Select "Pause" from the device's universal volume control.
  8. Notice the application unexpectedly terminates.*

My questions are: What is "the device's universal volume control" ? How can I stop these errors from happening?

I used Blend to assign a sound to the buttons so there is no code to work with as far as I can see.

I've written similar apps for the Android market and always use a 'stop' and 'release' for each mediaplayer element at the beginning of each button's code. I'm assuming I need something similar here but not sure how to go about it in WP8. Any ideas?

Unviersal volume control refers to the phone physical volume buttons.

Did you have AdMod ads in your app? Recently i found an app with the same behavior failing certification and it was caused by AdMob control doesn't working right when the volume buttons show the volume popup over the app.

If you follow this link, you can see a workaround: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-admob-ads-sdk/vw61ZdJALYo

Hope this helps.
