            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();

            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        try {
            mp.prepare();
        } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            System.out.print("hey");
            e.printStackTrace();

            // TODO Auto-generated catch block

I finally solved the problem by running on an emulator that supported audio!!

Can't believe it was that simple!

Window > AVD Manager > Edit your AVD (I created a new one to be on the safe side cause I was running from snapshot) > Hardware > New > Audio Playback Support

Try setting OnPreparedListener and call the start method within it. Like this:

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setOnPreparedListener( new OnPreparedListener() {

    public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
        mp.start();
    }
}; 
);
