My way to do this (no external sound needed, since I put my soundfile in my resources-folder):

In onCreate:

mp = MediaPlayer.create(getBaseContext(), R.raw.sound); /*Gets your 
soundfile from res/raw/sound.ogg */
mp.start(); //Starts your sound

//Continue with your run/thread-code here

Remember to have the sound in .ogg-format; it's fully supported in Android.

An important thing below about handling the sound when the Splash Screen activity is stopped:

There are two general ways to manage the Splash Screen (and the sound inside it) when it's stopped:

  1. Destroy the whole activity:

    protected void onStop() {
  super.onStop();

  ur.removeCallbacks(myRunnable); /*If the application is stopped;
remove the callback, so the next time the 
application starts it shows the Splash Screen again, and also, so the
thread-code,
don't continue after the application has stopped */

  finish();
  onDestroy();
}

  2. Or you can just stop the sound in onStop:

     protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
if(mp.isPlaying()){ //Must check if it's playing, otherwise it may be a NPE
    mp.pause(); //Pauses the sound
    ur.removeCallbacks(myRunnable);
    }
}

If you choose the second alternative you also have to start your Callback and MediaPlayer in the onStart-method.

I prefer the first alternative.

You can play audio files using the MediaPlayer class.

Example

MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer();
player.setDataSource("/sdcard/audiotrack.mp3");
player.prepare();
player.start();
