Answer 1

This is the problem in few versions of Windows 8.1. Update your windows or install windows 7.

Answer 2

This is a sample,

CodeBehind.cs

    MediaElement Sound= new MediaElement();
    Sound.Source = new Uri ("/Assets/Sounds/MySample.mp3",UriKind.Relative);
    Sound.MediaOpened += new RoutedEventHandler(Sound_Opened);
    Sound.Position = TimeSpan.Zero;
    Sound.Volume = 1;
    Sound.AutoPlay = false;
    LayoutRoot.Children.Add(Sound);
    Sound.Play();

    void Sound_Opened(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        MediaElement _Sound = sender as MediaElement;
        _Sound.Play();
    }
