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.
