I use System::Diagnostics::ProcessStartInfo. Ex below

Diagnostics::ProcessStartInfo   ^pInfo;
  if ( String::IsNullOrEmpty(SoundString) == false )
  {
    if ( System::IO::File::Exists(SoundString) == true )
    {
      pInfo = gcnew Diagnostics::ProcessStartInfo();
      pInfo->Verb = "play";
      pInfo->FileName = SoundString;
      pInfo->CreateNoWindow = true;
      pInfo->UseShellExecute = false;
      
      Diagnostics::Process::Start(pInfo);
    }
    else
      LogDebugInfo(String::Format(L"SoundString file {0} does not exists", SoundString));
  }
  else
  {
    LogDebugInfo(L"SoundString string was empty");
  }
