NAudio.Asio
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.

A correctness release, with Native AOT as the theme. NAudio's remaining
`[StructLayout]` interop types — `WAVEHDR`, `ACMSTREAMHEADER` and `WaveFormat`
itself — were passed to native code by value, which CoreCLR pins in place but
the AOT marshaller copies into a per-call temporary. Anything the driver or
codec wrote back was silently discarded, so `WaveIn`/`WaveOut`, ACM conversion
(and with it `Mp3FileReader` and `AudioFileReader`) and every WASAPI, Media
Foundation and DMO format negotiation were broken in an AOT-published app while
building and running cleanly. Those paths now marshal by hand into stable
unmanaged blocks, and `NAudio.WinMM` joins the AOT-compatible package set.
The two breaking changes below both fall out of that work. Also fixed are two
3.0.0 regressions — `Mp3FileReaderBase` seeking on files with a Xing/Info
header, and `WdlResamplingSampleProvider` losing samples when its source
under-feeds — and a pair of infinite loops in the WAV parser on corrupt files.
* **Breaking:** `WaveFormat` and its subclasses no longer carry `[StructLayout]`, so `Marshal.SizeOf` and `Marshal.PtrToStructure` on them now throw `ArgumentException` instead of silently returning wrong data under Native AOT (`Marshal.SizeOf<WaveFormatExtensible>()` returned 22 rather than 40, and a decoded format kept its constructor defaults). NAudio itself stopped marshalling these types in 3.1.0; use `ToWaveFormatExBytes`, `MarshalToPtr` or `MarshalFromPtr` to cross a native boundary (#1432)
* **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)
* 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 ACM conversion failing under Native AOT — `WaveFormatConversionStream`, `AcmStream` and so `Mp3FileReader` and `AudioFileReader`. `ACMSTREAMHEADER` was a `[StructLayout]` class passed to msacm32 by value, and the codec keeps private state in the header's reserved fields between `acmStreamPrepareHeader`, `acmStreamConvert` and `acmStreamUnprepareHeader`; the AOT marshaller's per-call copy round-trips only the declared fields, so that state was lost and conversion failed. It is now a struct in a stable unmanaged block, as `WAVEHDR` already is (#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)
* `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)
* 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)
* Added a `Serialize` override to `Mp3WaveFormat`, which previously advertised `cbSize` = 12 but wrote none of its 12 MPEGLAYER3WAVEFORMAT extra bytes (#1425)
* `WaveFormatExtraData` now sizes its buffer from `cbSize` instead of holding a fixed 100-byte array, so a fmt chunk declaring more than 100 bytes of extra data keeps it rather than having all of it discarded (#482). The fixed size existed only because `[MarshalAs(ByValArray, SizeConst = 100)]` needed a compile-time length. `ExtraData` is now exactly `ExtraSize` bytes long rather than always 100 (#1432)
* `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)
* 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 the `NAudioConsoleTest` WASAPI exclusive-mode quick scan reporting no supported formats at all on devices that support plenty — it built its probe formats with an empty `WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE` channel mask, which drivers such as Realtek reject outright. It now probes with the canonical layout for the channel count, the same mask the library's own format adaptation uses (#1431)
