At first I thought it could not play because the file did not have the extension, but the iOS 11 payment meloboom.mp3 I downloaded played without the extension.
I changed the directory of the file and tested the macro and got a different error than @invisible.count.

MacroDroid v5.27.8 / Xiaomi POCO F3

I'm having this problem too. Reconfigured the action to even choose another sound file. Still the same problem. They are system sounds that I'm choosing anyway... So the path shouldn't have changed. Suspect this is a bug of this current version? I'm on version 5.27 as well

Wait... Maybe it's because of all file access permission that got denied by Google ? That would make sense, although I never had this problem. (See post)

I just checked the apps permissions. It has access to the systems media. So unless there's something specific, I don't see that being my problem.

This may be unrelated, but a while back there was a problem with the MIUI theme app where the Google Play Protect warning appeared and if you followed the message to disable it, you would not be able to set ringtones or wallpaper.

I have not encountered this, so I don't know the details, but the latest version of the theme app says it has been resolved...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm on a Samsung S20 which is basically standard and unaltered. All was working about a week or so ago and I've not altered anything.

這可能無關緊要,但不久前 MIUI 主題應用程序出現問題,出現 Google Play Protect 警告,如果您按照消息禁用它,您將無法設置鈴聲或壁紙。

這個我沒遇到過,所以不知道具體情況,不過最新版的主題app說已經解決了……
後悔更新到新版本

Still no luck sadly. Interestingly I noted that the event fires and sometimes I get a tone of the system sound I selected. I sometimes also get an error that the app has hung and asks if I want to close the app or wait.
This macro is enabled to inform me when my battery has reached the desired percentage and plays a system sound. When I pull out the charging cable, the app functions correctly. System log suggest Sound file not found.
So I'm no wiser.

I'm not aware of this issue and it certainly shouldn't be related to all file access. Please use report a bug in the troubleshooting section and include the relevant macro and I will add it to my pile of bugs to investigate.

The problem seems to be that when the system language is English, it is "Twinkle", but when the language setting is set to Japanese, it is translated and becomes "トゥインクル"(Twinkle in Japanese).

It seems that "Twinkle" and "トゥインクル"(Twinkle in Japanese) have different perceptions, and when the language setting is changed, "Sound file not found" is displayed in the system log.

I wrote about the case of English and Japanese, but I suspect that similar problems may occur when translated into other languages.

Update from me. Although my macro had been working for a year or more there were changes required to be made to the configuration of my macro. Namely, mine contained a while loop and called for the sound to play in that loop. What it meant in actual fact was, the loop meant the sound would attempt to play thousands of times in a second, which was causing the hang.

It was suggested I try enabling the option to block next action on the play sound action or alternatively add a wait before next of a few seconds within the loop. I added the wait. This stopped the 'sound file not found' interestingly.

My problem solved. Hope the original poster's problem is resolved.
