SharpAudio
SharpAudio is a cross-platform, backend-agnostic library to playback sounds in .NET. It achieves that by wrapping the platform specific backends.
Supported backends:
- XAudio2
- OpenAL
Build status
Example
SharpAudio provides a low-level interface that wraps audio sources & buffers:
var engine = AudioEngine.CreateDefault();
var buffer = engine.CreateBuffer();
var source = engine.CreateSource();
// Play a 1s long sound at 440hz
AudioFormat format;
format.BitsPerSample = 16;
format.Channels = 1;
format.SampleRate = 44100;
float freq = 440.0f;
var size = format.SampleRate;
var samples = new short[size];
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
samples[i] = (short)(32760 * Math.Sin((2 * Math.PI * freq) / size * i));
}
buffer.BufferData(samples, format);
source.QueueBuffer(buffer);
source.Play();A high level interface that can load and play sound files is provided in the SharpAudio.Codec package:
var engine = AudioEngine.CreateDefault();
var soundStream = new SoundStream(File.OpenRead("test.mp3"), engine);
soundStream.Volume = 0.5f;
soundStream.Play();The following sound formats are supported at the moment:
.wav(PCM & ADPCM).mp3.ogg(WIP: Vorbis & Opus)
