AIR 3.7.0.2090 SOUND Issue ONLY at 1st Launch

Question

Dear developers, I am hoping you can assist me with this.
The app I have been developing is close to launch date.  However, the first time launching the app after installing, the game theme song cuts out after about 0.5 to 1 second.  If I close the app and reopen it, the theme song plays normally. 
This seems like a small issue but first impressions for an app are important and I need this song to play at launch after the app has been installed for the first time.
This problem is occuring on a Samsung 10.1 tablet running Android 4.0.4.
I can make a work around that would not play the song at all on first launch after installation, but would rather not do this.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Justin

Hi Mark, thanks again for getting back to me.  Your response is much appreciated.
I am going to try implementing the code you suggested for the main theme song.  All my other sounds are implemented using the exact code that you suggested. 
I have one main function that controls all the sound for the entire game that runs within an enterframe event.  Basically, when I want to fire a sound within a level, I use a boolean to trigger the sound.  Within the sound function, when the boolean is triggered it plays that sound.
I have another function that initializes all the sound each time I enter a new level.  This code only runs from once per level.
Both of these functions are created in frame 1.
I left the main theme song out of these functions as I only play it once (in frame 1)
According to everything I read online, I know I am not supposed to code like this, but each level has its own frame.  So there are 21 levels in the game and each with its own frame (actually 2 frames per level, the 2nd frame handles when the level comes to a finish and throws up all the stats, giving the player the option of replaying the level or moving on).  It just seemed for me a lot easier to do it like this, especially because within the game there are sort of 4 or 5 different mini games all linked by the same theme. 
The game plays well on a Samsung Tablet and I was looking forward to trying it on an IPAD mini but have to wait for my D-U-N-S number. 
Anyhow, thanks again...I will try your solution and get back to you.

PS  The storeddata only has highscore info, stars per level info and an option to tell give the user a chance to skip the instructions and tutorial mode.  I am going to look at this code very carefully, as I realized the storeddata actually runs on frame 2 and the song cuts out after a half second.....maybe it cuts out when that code is running....maybe I will try moving the location of that code and put the start of the main song after it.
