Cross-platform audio engine library for desktop platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS)
Get Started
$ dotnet add package OwnAudioSharpReadme
OwnAudioSharp is a cross-platform managed audio engine I built entirely in C# with zero external native dependencies. It provides direct access to native system audio APIs (WASAPI, PulseAudio, Core Audio, AAudio) through pure managed code, offering professional-grade audio capabilities that you usually only find in commercial software - completely free.
Why OwnAudioSharp?

⚠️ Important!
Version 2.0.0 brings major changes!
Pre-2.0.0 versions relied on native libraries (miniaudio, portaudio, ffmpeg) and were less optimized. Starting from version 2.0.0, OwnAudioSharp operates with zero external dependencies using a fully managed audio engine.
Key changes:
- ✅ Fully managed audio engine across all platforms
- ✅ ~90% backward compatibility with previous API
- ✅ Significant performance improvements
- ⚠️ Legacy APIs marked as
[Obsolete]- will be removed in future versions
