there is no problem on other android devices (samsung tablet ...)

MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(mContext, R.raw.buttonclick);
if (mp != null)
mp.start();

someone faced with this problem? use *.ogg sound file

Hi, I am having the same issue on a kindle fire, with my app. I'm testing it right now. Did you find a solution? — Peterdk, Dec 18 '12 at 14:47

Well, I think I found out that the not available stuff is due to the inner workings of the media player on the kindle. It scans first for asf file, then mp4, and gives that error log if the file is not of that type. On my device it plays all files nicely, but I have some issues with strange noises after playing lots of sounds. Unrelated I think.
