Is it possible to play 2 sounds back to back using SoundPlayer?

Question

I'm looking for a way to play multiples sound back to back asynchronously.

I actually have :

jouerSon("_" + nbre1);
jouerSon(operateur);
jouerSon("_" + nbre2);
jouerSon("equal");

public void jouerSon(String son)
{
    System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new SoundPlayer();
    player.Stream = Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream(son);
    // player.LoadAsync();
    player.Play();
    //Thread.Sleep(500);
    //player.Stop();
 }

I'd like to play the first sound, then when it's over the second one etc all while the program is still responsive.

I managed to play each sound one after another but only using a synchronous play, which prevent the user from doing anything until all sound are played.

And if I try using with an asynchronous play, only the last sound is played instead of each one.

I've looked around for a solution, but can't seem to find any. Could someone help me?

Play them on a different thread:

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // ...
        jouerSon(new String[] { "_" + nbre1, operateur, "_" + nbre2, "equal" });
        // ...
    }

    public void jouerSon(String[] sons)
    {
        Task t = new Task(() =>
        {
            System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer();
            foreach (String son in sons)
            {
                player.Stream = Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream(son);
                player.PlaySync();
            }    
        });
        t.Start();
    }

Or possibly something more specifically tailored, like this:

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // ...
        jouerSon(nbre1, operateur, nbre2);
        // ...
    }

    public void jouerSon(string nbre1, string operateur, string nbre2)
    {
        Task t = new Task(() =>
        {
            System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer();
            player.Stream = Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream("_" + nbre1);
            player.PlaySync();
            player.Stream = Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream(operateur);
            player.PlaySync();
            player.Stream = Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream("_" + nbre2);
            player.PlaySync();
            player.Stream = Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream("equal");
            player.PlaySync();
        });
        t.Start();
    }
