Android AudioPlayer volume extremly low

Hey, I am doing a little trivia game where I want to display a different sound effect when they choose a right or wrong answer. The problem is that the sound played with the MediaPlayer is extremly low, even with my device at its maximum volume.

Here is my code:

public void playSound(boolean isRight) {

    if(isRight){

        MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.correct);
        mp.setVolume(VOLUME,VOLUME);
        mp.start();

    }else{

        MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.wrong);
        mp.setVolume(VOLUME,VOLUME);
        mp.start();



    }


}

The value of VOLUME is 1.0f.

Any ideas?
