Try ‘reading’ the error:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:url1];
NSData *theData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
NSError *error = nil;
newPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithData:theData error:&error];
if (error == nil) {
    NSLog(@"AVAudioPlayer start playing");
    [newPlayer play];
} else {
    NSLog(@"%@", error);
}

Any “luck” ?
