Flutter "audio" directory for audio files not working - android-studio

Question

I have a simple flutter app that plays a bark noise when tapped on the Circle avatar of the dog. If I keep my audio files in pubspec.yaml file in the following way then it works
flutter:
uses-material-design: true
assets:
- assets/
- images/
The avatar is wrapped with a FlatButton Widget and the onPressed method is like this:
onPressed: (){
audioCache.play('bark.mp3');
},
BUT, the same does not happen when I keep the audio file in the "audio" directory, like this:
flutter:
uses-material-design: true
assets:
- audios/
- images/
And the onPressed method:
onPressed: (){
audioCache.play('audios/bark.mp3');
},
When I keep the audio file using the second method, it gives me the following error:
Cannot find asset: "assets/audios/bark.mp3"
What can be the problem?
Here is the following code in main.dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:audioplayers/audio_cache.dart';
import 'package:audioplayers/audioplayers.dart';
// The main function is the starting point.
void main() {
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}
class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
AudioCache audioCache;
#override
void initState() {
// TODO: implement initState
super.initState();
audioCache = AudioCache();
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
backgroundColor: Colors.indigo[300],
body: SafeArea(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
FlatButton(
onPressed: (){
audioCache.play('bark.mp3');
},
child: CircleAvatar(
radius: 50,
backgroundImage: AssetImage("images/doggo.jpg"),
),
),
Text(

),
SizedBox(

child: Divider(

),
),

margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 10,horizontal: 25),
color: Colors.white,
child: ListTile(
leading: Icon(Icons.phone, color: Colors.indigo),
title: Text(

style: TextStyle(

),
),
),
Card(
margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 10,horizontal: 25),
color: Colors.white,
child: ListTile(
leading: Icon(Icons.mail, color: Colors.indigo),
title: Text(
"roger.goodboi#pup.com",
style: TextStyle(

fontFamily: 'Source Sans Pro',
fontSize: 20,
),
),
),
),
],
),
),
),
);
}
}
Below I have the directory tree image. Notice that the audios and images folder are in the root directory. Images work fine but Audios are not working.

Answer 1

AudioPlayers is hardcoded to the "assets\" folder, so you can't put your audio files into a different root folder.

Answer 2

I think you missing something try below code on OnPressed method
onPressed: (){
audioCache.play('assets/audios/bark.mp3');
},
