> mp.setAudioStreamType(2); You should be using a constant here from http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/media/AudioManager.html , I'm guessing AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC
Additionally, do you even need to set this? Finally, try using http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html#create(android.content.Context,%20android.net.Uri,%20android.view.SurfaceHolder) . It should do the same things you're doing basically, but perhaps not.
