SoundPool is loading sounds but every time I play it it says "sample ___ is not ready"?

I am having a bit of difficulty with my SoundPool. I have an ArrayList<Integer> of my soundIDs located in my res/raw folder. I'm creating the SoundPool like so in my ViewHolder class for my RecyclerView:

//create the SoundPool
sp = new SoundPool(20, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);
//create the AudioManager for managing volume
audioManager = (AudioManager)context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
//store the streamVolume in an int
streamVolume = audioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);

//set the load listener for my soundfiles
sp.setOnLoadCompleteListener(new SoundPool.OnLoadCompleteListener() {
    @Override
        public void onLoadComplete(SoundPool soundPool, int sampleId, int status) {
            loaded = true;
        }
});

I am playing the sound on the click of an ImageView like so:

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    if (v.equals(cardImg)) {
        sp.load(context, cardData.getSoundId(), 1);
        if (loaded) {
            sp.play(cardData.getSoundId(), streamVolume, streamVolume, 1, 0, 1f);
        }
    }
}

And every time I click on the cardImg it gives me this error:

W/SoundPool﹕ sample 2130968609 not READY

Where the sample int changes depending on which card I click, like it should.

So I know that it's GETTING the proper soundID from my ArrayList (stored in CardData class), and it definitely sees that it's loaded, because it wouldn't try to play otherwise because loaded would never be true. My question is: Why are my sounds never ready?

My sounds are .m4a format which Android says is supported in the documentation. I've tried on an Android 5.0 device and an Android 4.4 device but nothing changes.

I have tried using a MediaPlayer but I am running into memory errors as I have many short clips that need to be able to be spammed and I read that a SoundPool was a much better way to manage this (?).

Any help would be appreciated! I am super vexxed here.

You're using the wrong id. SoundPool.load returns an id that is suppose to be passed in to SoundPool.play.
