HeadsetControl.NET

NuGet NuGet downloads

.NET 10 wrapper for the HeadsetControl C/C++ library. Sidetone, battery, equalizer, lights, chat-mix, the lot.

Native binaries are shipped for osx-arm64, osx-x64, linux-arm64, linux-x64, win-x64. On Apple Silicon Macs make sure you're using a native arm64 dotnet — Intel dotnet under Rosetta reports osx-x64 and will pull the x64 binary instead.

Layout

src/HeadsetControl.NET.Native/   P/Invoke layer (internal)
src/HeadsetControl.NET/          public managed API
tests/HeadsetControl.NET.Tests/  xUnit, uses the built-in test device
samples/HeadsetControl.NET.Sample/
build/build-native.sh            CMake driver per RID
headsetcontrollib/               git submodule with the native source

Build

git submodule update --init --recursive
dotnet test -c Release

Tests that need the native library Skip themselves if it wasn't built, so dotnet test stays green even before step one.

Prerequisites for the native build: CMake, a C++20 compiler, hidapi (brew install hidapi / apt install libhidapi-dev); on Windows the upstream library uses vcpkg manifest mode.

Usage

using HeadsetControl.NET;

using HeadsetCollection headsets = HeadsetControlLibrary.Discover();
foreach (Headset headset in headsets)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{headset}  caps={string.Join(",", headset.SupportedCapabilities)}");

    if (headset.Supports(HeadsetCapability.BatteryStatus))
    {
        BatteryInfo battery = headset.GetBattery();
        Console.WriteLine($"  battery: {battery.Status} ({battery.LevelPercent}%)");
    }

    if (headset.Supports(HeadsetCapability.Sidetone))
    {
        headset.SetSidetone(64);
    }
}

Run the sample against the synthetic test device:

dotnet run --project samples/HeadsetControl.NET.Sample -- --test
