I was able to play a simple sound this line of code:

SystemSound.play(SystemSoundType.click);

How can I play a customized sound?

The audioplayers works (from https://medium.com/@bennett4/adding-custom-sound-effects-to-a-flutter-mobile-app-41594f1f3305):

(1) Add the library to your pubspec.yaml: audioplayers: ^0.15.1

(2) In pubspec.yaml under flutter add the reference to your assets file:

flutter
    assets:
       - assets/yes.mp3

MAKE SURE it is under assets folder. It does not work when it is in a sub folder. For example, something like: - assets/sounds/yes.mp3 will not work. Just put your audio file in the assets folder not in its sub folder

(3) import the library in your app as: import package:audioplayers/audioplayers.dart;

(4) then define this function:

Future playLocalAsset() async {
    AudioCache cache = new AudioCache();
   //At the next line, DO NOT pass the entire reference such as assets/yes.mp3. This will not work.
   //Just pass the file name only.
    return await cache.play("yes.mp3"); 
}

(5) call the function whenever you need to play a sound: await playLocalAsset();
