For example use this code for .mp3:

WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer wplayer = new WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer();

wplayer.URL = "My MP3 file.mp3";
wplayer.Controls.Play();

Then only put the wplayer.Controls.Play(); in the Button_Click event.

For example use this code for .wav:

System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer();

player.SoundLocation = "Sound.wav";
player.Play();

Put the player.Play(); in the Button_Click event, and it will work.
