    I had the same problem with HTML5 and <video> tag, video playing fine if called programatically from file system, but when called from the tag, didn’t work,

    the way I solved it is having a javascript function in the HTML call the android system, in your case for playing an mp3

    also check my question in the same subject

    note that you need to place in the correct folder the mp3 [sorry don’t remember in which folder, make a search and find it easy]

    so first do a hello world javascript calling a log or basic function in android,

    then make the javascript call the play function,

    good luck
