won't play mp3 from home screen

S22 Ultra with latest updates

I have an mp3 audio file that used to play from my home screen. it stopped working and just hangs with a black bar at the top of the screen and a white one at bottom. i may have hit something incorrectly when the popup "use every time" displayed but can't be sure. It plays fine from the file manager audio listings using Samsung Music.

i've been looking all nite but can't find anything to solve.

You can go to settings>apps>3 dots upper right corner tap>reset app preference

It's typically not the actual file that's on the homescreen, but rather a shortcut or widget that launches a media player to play that file. How did you add the file to the homescreen in the first place?
