Check this, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4y171b18.aspx[^] & http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143770.aspx[^]

The Stream passed to the stream parameter should be a Stream containing a .wav file. The data returned by the Read method of the Stream should be the data within a .wav file.

Please Update my code if possible.

Solution 2

If you want to play 2 videos at the same time you need to enter 3 parts of code:

Part 1:

C#

using System.Runtime.InteropServices; //with this code you are able to import dll files

Part 2:

under:

C#

public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

enter code:

C#

[DllImport("winmm.dll")]
        private static extern long mciSendString(
            string command,
            StringBuilder returnValue,
            int returnLength,
            IntPtr winHandle);//imports a dll file and creates a new command

Part 3:

C#

string filename1 = "";//location of first file
mciSendString("close mf1", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
mciSendString("open \"" + filename1 + "\" type mpegvideo alias mf1", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
mciSendString("play mf1", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero)

this worked for me;if you want to know more about this code search for MCI(Media Control Interface);Some extra commands:
pause mf1
resume mf1
stop mf1
seek mf1 to x // x is some number
try them to see what they do

Solution 4

I used below code. Put sound file in Resources.

C#

SoundPlayer player = new SoundPlayer(Properties.Resources.sound1);
                    player.Play();

sound1 is media file name for example.
