Mark, thanks for the reply. I am testing on a Nexus S (ICS 4.0.3 Stock) and Lg Optimus One (2.3.3 Stock).
I tried commenting out the setVolume() but it didn't help. The sound in the level part of the game is working fine, but that is done through the game engine. I am not using the game engine for loading the resources and allowing the user to select a level, so that doesn't work here. I created a separate sample project that loaded the mp3 file on start and played it and it works fine. I think that over here there might be some problem due to the fact that I am calling the play() method from another class. The LogCat shows no warnings related to this. Is there any other thing that could be causing this?
