Do you have an error listener registered? Does it give you more information?
According to the state diagram, stop() is not available in all states. Perhaps you're calling stop() in an invalid state, causing the player to transition to the Error state, at which point prepareAsync would fail: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html In my experience with media player, it's best not to assume that a state transition has happened until one of the listeners tells you. Also, if you have the luxury of creating a new MediaPlayer instead of trying to stop and reuse the current player, I think you'll receive fewer error reports.
