AnkiMobile won't play audio automatically if you have the mute/vibrate switch on your phone turned on. To get the audio to play automatically, you can either turn the switch off, or turn on the "Always Duck + Ignore Mute" option in AnkiMobile's review preferences screen to have AnkiMobile ignore the mute switch.
