That's it!!
Launching the emulator with the -noaudio solves the problem.

About the error message "could not find \tools\adb.exe", the path was
set correctly, but I was having some error messages related with adb
("adb] * daemon not running. starting it now") so I though that may be
it could be related.

Many thanks!!
