Additional context (OPTIONAL):
I am suspecting if this bug is because of additional system sound modules.

Short version: You accidentally tried to play a 24bit sound, while we only support 16bit sounds.
Doc: https://defold.com/manuals/sound/?q=_wave_#creating-a-sound-component

I'm looking into a way to make this into a build error, to catch the error earlier.

[nevinbaiju]

Really missed that point in the docs. I guess it solves my problem, but like you mentioned it will be better for devs to understand.

For now, I fixed the (broken) check for the formats at runtime:

ERROR:SOUND: Only mono/stereo with 8/16 bits per sample is supported (/assets/sounds/eat.wavc): 24 bpp 2 ch

This should make it clearer to pinpoint the error.
