NAudio.WinMM 3.1.1-preview.2

NAudio.WinMM

Nuget

Windows Multimedia (WinMM / winmm.dll) bindings for NAudio. Windows-only (net9.0-windows).

What's included

  • Playback — WaveOut for playing audio via the legacy WinMM API. The window-callback variant lives in NAudio.WinForms as WaveOutWindow
  • Recording — WaveIn for capturing audio from input devices. The window-callback variant is WaveInWindow in NAudio.WinForms
  • MIDI I/O — MidiIn / MidiOut for sending and receiving live MIDI messages
  • ACM — Audio Compression Manager wrappers: AcmStream, AcmMp3FrameDecompressor, driver enumeration
  • Device enumeration and capability queries for WinMM audio and MIDI devices

When to use it

Use this package when you need the classic WaveOut/WaveIn APIs — useful for broad compatibility with older Windows versions, for very simple playback/capture, or when you specifically want ACM codecs. For lower-latency playback, system loopback capture, or modern device enumeration prefer NAudio.Wasapi.

See the NAudio documentation site for tutorials and the full API reference, or the GitHub repository for full documentation and tutorials.

* Fixed `DirectSoundOut` failing every playback with `DirectSoundException 0x80004001` (or an `ArgumentException` for a format with extra data, e.g. one read from a WAV by `WaveFileReader`): the secondary buffer's `WAVEFORMATEX` was still a GCHandle-pinned `WaveFormat` instance — a site missed in the #1432 marshalling conversion, since `WaveFormat` no longer carries `[StructLayout]` — and now marshals via `WaveFormat.MarshalToPtr` * Fixed `WasapiPlayer` and `WasapiOut` being stranded in the `Playing` state, unable to play again, when the source's `Read` threw or the source ended before the first buffer was filled (#1442) * **macOS support (preview)** - A new wrappers library is added wrapping macOS native API's for playback/recording, reading/writing files and resampling audio. The `NAudio.MacOS` package ships pre-release only (`X.Y.Z-preview.N`) while its API settles, so it stays pre-release alongside stable releases of the other packages. Special thanks to @mdcdi1315 (#1325) for the work and the tests. For more information, see the [design](Docs/Architecture/MacOSWrappersDesign.md) doc that describes the decisions that helped shape the wrappers. (#1398) * **VB.NET support** - Added `SampleProviderBase` and `WaveProviderBase`, base classes that keep the NAudio 2 `Read(buffer, offset, count)` signature for languages that cannot name a `Span<T>` in a method signature, and a [Using NAudio from VB.NET](Docs/UsingNAudioFromVB.md) guide covering playback, recording and custom providers from VB (#1426)
