Answer 1

In your code for background audio player use

var systemMediaControls = SystemMediaTransportControls.GetForCurrentView();
            systemMediaControls.ButtonPressed += systemMediaControls_ButtonPressed;
            systemMediaControls.IsPlayEnabled = true;
            systemMediaControls.IsPauseEnabled = true;
            systemMediaControls.IsNextEnabled = true;
            systemMediaControls.IsPreviousEnabled = true;

async void systemMediaControls_ButtonPressed(SystemMediaTransportControls sender, SystemMediaTransportControlsButtonPressedEventArgs args)
    {
        switch (args.Button)
        {
            case SystemMediaTransportControlsButton.Play:
            break;
        }
    }

instead of

MediaControl.PlayPressed += MediaControl_PlayPressed;
             MediaControl.PausePressed += MediaControl_PausePressed;

Control. I think it will help for you..

Did you follow the directions as this guy did for windows 8 and not for 8.1?

"Do NOT use the MediaControl static class to attach handlers for you Windows 8.1 app or you will get the error message"
