Playing two sounds simultaneously c#

Question

I am creating a WP7 application that requires various sound effects to be played (on button press) over looped background music. The background music is initiated by pressin

This should work if you are always working with Instances so change your code to this and it should clear up the problem:

public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{   

    SoundEffectInstance loopedSound = null;

    // Constructor
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    static protected void LoopClip(SoundEffect soundEffect)
    {
        loopedSound = soundEffect.CreateInstance();
        loopedSound.IsLooped = true;
        loopedSound.Play();
    }

    public void PlaySound(string soundFile)
    {
        SoundEffect sound = SoundEffect.FromStream(Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri(soundFile, UriKind.Relative)).Stream);
        SoundEffectInstance instance = sound.CreateInstance();
        instance.Play();
    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        SoundEffect sound = SoundEffect.FromStream(Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri(@"BackgroundMusic.wav", UriKind.Relative)).Stream); 
        LoopClip(sound);
    }


    private void button3_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        PlaySound("sound3.wav");
    }

}

The above example assumes your sound files are set with Build Action = Content and are in the top level directory.
