react-native-sound always showing current playback time as 0 - react-native

Question

I am using react-native-sound to create an audio player, I want to get the current playback timings of the sound while it plays however when I use the getCurrentTime callback, it is only showing 0. Below is the code for the same:
const listenaudio = (audio, id) => {
console.log("$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$")
if (playAudio != null) {
playAudio.release();
}
setsoundpause(id);
playAudio = new Sound(audio, Sound.MAIN_BUNDLE, (error) => {
console.log("rrr")
if (error) {
return;
}
// loaded successfully
// Play the sound with an onEnd callback
playAudio.play((success) => {
if (success) {
setsoundpause(0);
} else {
}
});
});
playAudio.setVolume(1);
playAudio.getCurrentTime((seconds) => console.log('at ' + seconds)); // here
};
It would be great if anyone could suggest how should I do it? Should I use seInterval() ?
Any leads would be appreciated.

I've made a player recently using react-native-sound, where I call getCurrentTime method after some milliseconds to get realtime player time.
My function to play audio
const timerRef = React.useRef();
const playSound = () => {
// Sound.MAIN_BUNDLE
try {
if (!playAudio || !playAudio.isLoaded()) return;
if (timerRef.current) clearInterval(timerRef.current);
timerRef.current = setInterval(() => {
playAudio.getCurrentTime((seconds, isPlaying) => {
setCurrentPlayTime(seconds); // HERE is time of current player
});
}, 300);
playAudio.play(success => {
if (!success) {
console.log('playback failed due to audio decoding errors');
}
stopSound();
});
} catch (err) {
console.log("can't play voice message", err);
}
};
