PortAudio.NET
Low-level C# bindings for PortAudio.
Currently only Windows x64 is well-tested, although Linux x64 is expected to work if you regenerate the bindings.
Most of PortAudio's host API-specific functionality is not yet exposed with the exception of WASAPI.

Building PortAudio and generating the bindings
- Ensure Git submodules are up-to-date with
git submodule update --init --recursive - Build and run
generate.cmd(Windows) orgenerate.sh(Linux) from the repository root
Building and running the samples
Simply build+run any of the samples as you would any other .NET project. (IE: Using F5 in Visual Studio or dotnet run --project src/Samples/ListDevices --framework net8.0.)
The native PortAudio code will be built automatically if you didn't build it yourself.
