Answer 1

Did you try to play each of them in a separate thread ?

Answer 2

You could try look around in the System.Media namespace. There is a SoundPlayer which is able to play Wave files.

To play a wav file in a loop, you can use the following code:

string filename = @"C:\WINDOWS\Media\notify.wav";
System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(filename);
player.PlayLooping();

To stop playing, you simple call Stop():

player.Stop();

Play around a bit, there's more if you need it.

Answer 3

you can use Windows Media Player:

reference C:\Windows\System32\wmp.dll in your project

to launch a wav file:

WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer wmp = new WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayerClass();
wmp.URL = "[wav file path]";

//then control the player with :

wmp.controls.play(), stop(), ...

for the second wav file, do the same thing with another instance of WindowsMediaPlayer etc...
