NAudio.WinMM 3.0.1

NAudio.WinMM

Nuget

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

What's included

  • PlaybackWaveOut for playing audio via the legacy WinMM API. The window-callback variant lives in NAudio.WinForms as WaveOutWindow
  • RecordingWaveIn for capturing audio from input devices. The window-callback variant is WaveInWindow in NAudio.WinForms
  • MIDI I/OMidiIn / 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.

A patch release. The headline fix is packaging: the NAudio and NAudio.Extras meta-packages now ship a plain net9.0-windows leg, so WinForms and WPF projects targeting netX.0-windows get the full Windows stack again.

  • Breaking: AudioFileReader now throws NotSupportedException instead of InvalidOperationException when the cross-platform build is asked for a format it cannot read, and the messages simply state that rather than suggesting an NAudio.Wasapi install that could never have helped (#1407)
  • Fixed the NAudio and NAudio.Extras meta-packages resolving their portable net9.0 asset on projects targeting a plain netX.0-windows TFM (the WinForms/WPF template default), which silently dropped the entire Windows stack — no WaveOut, WASAPI, Media Foundation, ASIO, DMO or WinForms types, and AudioFileReader throwing "MP3 file reading requires the NAudio.Wasapi package". Both packages now also ship a plain net9.0-windows leg (#1407)
  • Projects on a plain netX.0-windows TFM may now see CA1416 warnings when calling WASAPI process-loopback capture. The warning is correct — those callers do need an OperatingSystem.IsWindowsVersionAtLeast(10, 0, 19041) guard — and was previously hidden because the only Windows asset available already implied that floor (#1407)
  • Sample and tool apps now roll forward onto newer .NET runtimes, so running them no longer requires the .NET 9 runtime to be installed (#1408)
  • Fixed AiffFileReader reporting too long a Length and throwing IndexOutOfRangeException when the SSND chunk declares a non-zero offset (#1405)
  • Fixed AiffFileReader.Read throwing IndexOutOfRangeException when the source stream returns fewer bytes than requested (#1405)
