media.play() - not working on google pixel

After uploading app to google play store some users reported they can not play audio stream. I was able to narrow users and all use pixel phones (so not sure maybe this is android 8.1+ version not pixel phone problem)

Everything is working (the streaming) as it should on all other phones i was able to test. On pixel phone users clicks on play icon, there is no sound but icon changes from play to stop (so code that is after media.play() is executed)

When tested on local server (phonegap desktop app) the pixel phone plays the stream ! No errors, no problems

var my_media = new Media("http://50.97.94.44:8086/;");

my_media.play();

Any ideas, suggestions ?
