miniaudio is written in C with no dependencies except the standard library and should compile clean on all major compilers without the need to install any additional development packages. All major desktop and mobile platforms are supported.

• Simple build system with no external dependencies.
• Simple and flexible API.
• Low-level API for direct access to raw audio data.
• High-level API for sound management, mixing, effects and optional 3D spatialization.
• Flexible node graph system for advanced mixing and effect processing.
• Resource management for loading sound files.
• Decoding, with built-in support for WAV, FLAC, and MP3, in addition to being able to plug in custom decoders.
• Encoding (WAV only).
• Data conversion.
• Resampling, including custom resamplers.
• Channel mapping.
• Basic generation of waveforms and noise.
• Basic effects and filters.

Refer to the Programming Manual for a more complete description of available features in miniaudio.

This example shows one way to play a sound using the high level API.

#include "miniaudio/miniaudio.h"

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    ma_result result;
    ma_engine engine;

    result = ma_engine_init(NULL, &engine);
    if (result != MA_SUCCESS) {
        return -1;
    }

    ma_engine_play_sound(&engine, "sound.wav", NULL);

    printf("Press Enter to quit...");
    getchar();

    ma_engine_uninit(&engine);

    return 0;
}

This example shows how to decode and play a sound using the low level API.

#include "miniaudio/miniaudio.h"

#include <stdio.h>

void data_callback(ma_device* pDevice, void* pOutput, const void* pInput, ma_uint32 frameCount)
{
    ma_decoder* pDecoder = (ma_decoder*)pDevice->pUserData;
    if (pDecoder == NULL) {
        return;
    }

    ma_decoder_read_pcm_frames(pDecoder, pOutput, frameCount
