You might give Xam.Plugin.SimpleAudioPlayer a try, since Xamarin.Forms doesn't have a sound API.

In short, add the NuGet package to each platform-specific project you wish to support. Copy the audio files to the Assets folder for Windows UWP and Android and set the build actions as Content and Android Asset respectively. For iOS copy the audio files to the Resources folder and set the build action to BundleResource, then play the files like so:

var player = Plugin.SimpleAudioPlayer.CrossSimpleAudioPlayer.Current; 
player.Load("intro_sound.mp3");
player.Play();
