Sonic Boom

Sonic Boom is a minimal, community-driven fork of NAudio. The goal is for the community to handle ongoing extension and maintenance for this project, which is too much for any one person to handle.

This fork focuses mainly on playback.

Features

  • Play back audio using a variety of APIs
    • WaveOut
    • DirectSound
  • Read audio from many standard file formats
    • WAV
    • OGG
    • MP3 (using ACM, DMO or MFT)
  • Loop OGG files

Getting Started

The easiest way to install Sonic Boom into your project is to install the latest NuGet package.

Tutorials

These are all original NAudio tutorials.

Architectural Goals

The technical goals of Sonic Boom are:

  • Maintain as minimal a version of NAudio as we can get away with
  • Keep up to date with NAudio, including new versions and PRs and fixes
  • Modernize, e.g. better automated testing

FAQ

Q: Why does this exist?

As of 2025, there is no actively-maintained cross-platform audio library that you can use in .NET 8+ to play OGG files. I'm not an audio expert by any means; the .NET community needs to pick up where NAudio left off.

While I cannot possibly maintain this myself due to lack of expertise, I am confident that there are enough interested users in the community who can pool together and make this work.
