Android's SoundPool not playing any sound

Question

I have tried everithing to make this work. The Android's SoundPool class is loading the .ogg audio file (tested), but it doesn't play. For some strange reason i can't manage to get this working. I have followed many tutorials and forums on the matter, and still can't get it working.

Here's my code:

As Global variables:

 SoundPool soundPool;
 boolean ya = false;

On my Activity's onCreate:

   this.setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);    
   if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP){
                soundPool = new SoundPool.Builder()
                .setMaxStreams(15)
                .build();
    }else{
        soundPool = new SoundPool(15, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);
    }

    soundPool.setOnLoadCompleteListener(new SoundPool.OnLoadCompleteListener() {
        @Override
        public void onLoadComplete(SoundPool sp, int sampleId, int status) {
            ya = true;
        }
    });     
    soundPool.load(this, R.raw.explosion_1, 1);

Finally, on the onClick method of one of my buttons:

public void instructions(View v){
    if(ya){
        soundPool.play(R.raw.explosion_1, 0.99f, 0.99f, 1, 0, 0.99f);
    }
}

Please help.

In order to play the sound, you need to pass in the id that you got from load() into play().

int explosion = soundPool.load(this, R.raw.explosion_1, 1);
soundPool.play(explosion, 0.99f, 0.99f, 1, 0, 0.99f);
