Can you play multiple audio tracks at once in c# console?

Question

I'm trying to make an rpg using visual studio console and I can't get sounds to overlap. I want my background music to play while an attack sound or a select sound plays over it

An example:

Console.ReadLine();
soundplayer s = new soundplayer('path here');
soundplayer b = new soundplayer('path here');
s.play();
string f = console.readline();
if(f = "has")
{
   b.play
}

but I want s to keep playing while b plays over it

It is hard for us to play two sounds at once using SoundPlayer.

The simplest option would be to depend on windows media player to play the audio for you. Add a reference to 'Windows Media Player' then use the following code:

static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var bgm = new WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer();
        bgm.URL = @"path here";
        Console.WriteLine("bgm is playing");
        string f = Console.ReadLine();
        SoundPlayer b = new SoundPlayer(@"path here ");
        if (f == "has")
        {
            b.Play();
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
