Answer 2

I had a similar problem too, found the only way around it was to create the media element dynamically. Heres the code, I had a MediaElement in the XAML called mePlayClick but you may not need or want that.

    private void Play_MediaSound()
    {
        // Create new media element dynamically
        MediaElement mediaElement = new MediaElement();

        // Reuse settings in XAML 
        mediaElement.Volume = mePlayClick.Volume;
        mediaElement.Source = mePlayClick.Source;
        mediaElement.AutoPlay = mePlayClick.AutoPlay;

        // WHen the media ends, remove the media element
        mediaElement.MediaEnded += (sender, args) =>
        {
            LayoutRoot.Children.Remove(mediaElement);
            mediaElement = null;
        };

        // Add the media element, must be in visual ui tree
        LayoutRoot.Children.Add(mediaElement);

        // When opened, play
        mediaElement.MediaOpened += (sender, args) =>
        {
            mediaElement.Play();
        };
    }
