I made sound play start on Button tap — now it plays (after a second past from activity start).

So solution is to initiate soundPool and load sound in onCreate, but play is after a few seconds.

Glad you got it working. Even better solution for long sound files (perhaps music) is to use a class that streams the sound rather than preloading completely. Have a look at this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16336960/android-playing-music-in-background.
