I had the same problem - couldn't play sounds using neither SoundPool
nor MediaPlayer in apps built with NetBeans. I've found a solution
though and thought I'd share.
All you need to do is set 'keepcompression' attribute to 'true' on the
'zip' tag inside 'build-impl.xml' (can be found in the 'nbproject'
subdirectory). The 'zip' task is called from the '-package-dex'
target.
The problem is that although 'aapt' doesn't compress files with
extensions such as '.mp3', '.ogg', NetBeans uses 'zip' task to update
the APK archive with 'classes.dex' file along with other files (eg.
resources) which causes all files to be compressed.
Hope it helps.
