NAudio.Asio 3.1.0-preview.1

NAudio.Asio

Nuget

ASIO driver support for NAudio. Windows-only (net9.0-windows).

What's included

  • AsioOut — low-latency playback and/or recording through any installed ASIO driver
  • ASIO driver enumeration (AsioOut.GetDriverNames())
  • Channel routing, per-channel input metering, and access to the driver's control panel
  • Interop types for building your own ASIO host code

When to use it

ASIO is the right choice when you need very low round-trip latency — typical in pro-audio, virtual instruments, and multi-channel recording scenarios — and the user has a working ASIO driver installed (manufacturer-supplied, ASIO4ALL, FlexASIO, etc.). For general-purpose playback/capture prefer NAudio.Wasapi or NAudio.WinMM.

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

  • Fixed two infinite loops in the WAV parser triggered by corrupt files declaring a negative chunk size. An RF64 ds64 chunk with a negative dataChunkLength, or a LIST/adtl sub-chunk with a negative size, made the chunk walk advance by zero bytes per iteration and spin at 100% CPU without throwing. Negative and oversized sizes are now rejected where they are read, and an undersized ds64 chunk throws FormatException rather than ArgumentOutOfRangeException (#1428)
  • Fixed WaveIn/WaveOut failing under Native AOT with WaveHeaderUnprepared ("The wave header was not prepared"). The WAVEHDR was a [StructLayout] class passed to winmm by value, which CoreCLR pins in place but NativeAOT copies into a per-call temporary, so the driver's WHDR_PREPARED/WHDR_DONE/dwBytesRecorded writes were discarded. It is now a struct in a stable unmanaged block (#1425)
  • Fixed WaveFormat.MarshalToPtr and WaveFormat.MarshalFromPtr corrupting any WaveFormat subclass under Native AOT — the AOT marshaller drops the inherited WAVEFORMATEX fields of a class hierarchy, so a WaveFormatExtensible was written with its SubFormat GUID over the sample rate. Every remaining site that sized or wrote a WaveFormat with Marshal.SizeOf/StructureToPtr was converted too: WASAPI (AudioClient), Media Foundation (MFInitMediaTypeFromWaveFormatEx, reachable from MediaFoundationResampler/MediaFoundationEncoder), DMO (DmoMediaType.SetWaveFormat, MediaObject) and ACM (AcmStream, AcmDriver) (#1425)
  • Added WaveFormat.ToWaveFormatExBytes(), which renders a WaveFormat as a native WAVEFORMATEX byte array. MarshalToPtr is now a thin wrapper over it, for callers who need an unmanaged block rather than a buffer they already own (#1425)
  • WaveFormat.MarshalToPtr now always allocates at least the 18 + cbSize bytes it advertises. A WaveFormat subclass that declares extraSize but doesn't write it in Serialize previously produced a block shorter than its own cbSize, which a native consumer would read past (#1425)
  • Breaking: AudioClient.IsFormatSupported and WasapiPlayer.IsFormatSupported now return the closest-match format as out WaveFormat rather than out WaveFormatExtensible. WASAPI documents this format as either a WAVEFORMATEX or a WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE, and the old signature could only represent the latter — a plain format was previously decoded as a WaveFormatExtensible whose base fields were valid but whose extensible fields were meaningless. Callers needing the extensible fields should pattern-match (#1425)
  • Added a Serialize override to Mp3WaveFormat, which previously advertised cbSize = 12 but wrote none of its 12 MPEGLAYER3WAVEFORMAT extra bytes (#1425)
  • NAudio.WinMM is now marked IsAotCompatible, and the AOT smoke test covers the winmm WAVEHDR/WAVEFORMATEX paths (#1425)
  • Fixed Mp3FileReaderBase seeking silently restarting playback from the beginning of the file on MP3s with a Xing/Info header — the lazy frame index was gated on IsLengthExact, which such a header sets without any frame having been scanned. Also fixed seeks landing on the wrong frame when the target fell exactly on a frame boundary, and Xing/Info header frames being indexed as audio (shifting every seek in those files ~26 ms early). A 3.0.0 regression (#1419)
  • Fixed WdlResamplingSampleProvider losing samples, and eventually returning 0 permanently, when asked for more output than the source could supply — a 3.0.0 regression that broke the common pattern of reading generously from a BufferedWaveProvider-backed capture chain. WdlResampler.ResampleOut also no longer drifts in input-driven (feed) mode when handed fewer samples than ResamplePrepare requested (#1412)
