No sound from SoundPool on Sony Xperia Z3

I'm working on an Android app that plays sounds at regular intervals. I'm using the SoundPool class for this, and call the method play.

In the emulator it works just fine with a virtual Nexus 5 (API 18 & API 22). It also works for mobiles I've tried from Samsung and HTC. However, I hear no sound on my Sony Xperia Z3... And since this is the phone I own it is truly annoying. The issue is repeatable on a friend's Sony Xperia Z3 Compact.

I've tried with both the deprecated SoundPool constructor and the SoundPool.Builder and get the same behavior.

Is there some known Xperia issue? How do I proceed from here?

What type of sound files are you using? I was having problems using .WAV files until I learned that .OGG decoding is more universally supported. I converted all my sound files to .OGG files and all my problems went away.
