I check a bit more, now I reproduce the issue, I see that audio doesn't output.
BTW, if I only give the audio stream to the player I correctly hear the audio. following url: https://nasmstaging.blob.core.windows.net/exercise-media-streams/c43edc50-60f6-11ef-a83f-556ad75e932e/audio_0.m3u8

I wonder if the m3u8 is correctly constructed / compatibe with avPlayer. maybe there is a subfolder issue on the web server which is not supported by AVPlayer ...
I don't see any error on native side ...

Notice also that other m3u8 works with the sample, so it looks like specific to this stream

@freeboub
are you sure it's a sub-folder issue?

@freeboub
are you sure it's a sub-folder issue?

No... Maybe you should check with charles proxy.
But I am sure it is not a decoder issue / audio format issue ...

@freeboub
I am not getting you what you mean for "charles proxy"

[rajesh2520]

@freeboub
Any solution or update over this?

[freeboub]

No I did find solution for now ...
About charles proxy, it can help you to understand if there is a bad http request from AVPlayer ...

@freeboub
what solution you got on this? can you provide me so i can check it on my end

[freeboub]

I don't have 'easy clues' ...
You can try to reproduce the issue with a standalone AVPlayer sample, it can help to discriminate if the issue is linked to AVPlayer or RNV.
On my side, I tried to compare m3u8 contents with a working sample, I don't see apparent reason for the issue...

I suspect an issue on the m3u8 audio file, but I am not fully familiar with HLS format, I cannot identify easily the issue by reading playlist.
