Audio delay in Android devices

Cocos Creator
#1

I am using Cocos Creator 1.6.2 to build my web based game.

When I play the game in Android phones there is a big delay in audio. The audio works fine in iPhone.

I am using cc.audioEngine.playEffect to play audio files.
Also I am pre-loading the audio using cc.audioEngine.preload

If I upgraded to latest version of the engine will that fix this issue?
Or
Is there a workaround for this issue?

#2

CocosDenshion::SimpleAudioEngine::getInstance()->playEffect(“abc.mp3”);
try it

#3

Is this available in Cocos Creator?
