Here's an example of how to do it, assuming you have two wav files (one for background music, and one for the correct answer sound effect). The key is to know when the sound effect is done playing, then continue with the background music again.

I wrote it as a simple C# Console App.

class Program
{
    private static SoundPlayer player;

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        using (player = new SoundPlayer())
        {
            player.SoundLocation = "bkgnd.wav";
            player.PlayLooping();
            Console.WriteLine("bkgnd.wav is now playing in a loop. (Hit ENTER key to start the hoorayyouwon.wav)");
            Console.ReadLine();
            Console.WriteLine("hoorayyouwon.wav is now playing.");
            player.Stop();
            player.SoundLocation = "hoorayyouwon.wav";
            player.PlaySync(); // this ensures the hoorayyouwon.wav plays completely before it gets to the next line of code.
            Console.WriteLine("bkgnd.wav is now continuing (actually, starting over). (Hit ENTER key to exit)");
            player.SoundLocation = "bkgnd.wav";
            player.PlayLooping();
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
