There are several references to AudioManager in your code that you don't create actively. E.g. each clickable View might have one to play onClick sounds [source]. I guess that is the link.

The reason for your leak might be that you are holding onto some View object in your ListView (Adapter?) code. If you keep them around then you might have a View that has an AudioManager reference and that keeps a Context reference)
