how to run nAudio on Windows XP?

I am using nAudio on my WPF Application. I have followed their tutorial on How to play mp3 And everything works fine.

However, in their tutorial they mention :

3) In a method – that only needs to be called once, setup the waveOutDevice. In this example we will use WASPI – which is available on Vista and Windows 7. A more detailed discussion on which output device to chose and when, to come latter

waveOutDevice = new WasapiOut(AudioClientShareMode.Shared, 100);

And for some reason, they didn't discuss on how to do that. Anyone has a clue? And if you do know which output device i should use, do i need to check which OS the user has and set output device accordingly or the one for XP will work on

You basically have four options for playing audio with NAudio:

  • AsioOut - For most things, ASIO is probably overkill. But if you need very low latency playback, this is your best bet. It requires a sound card with ASIO drivers or the program ASIO4ALL.
  • DirectSoundOut - Uses DirectX for playback.
  • WasapiOut - General purpose playback for Vista and Windows 7.
  • WaveOut - General purpose playback for any version of Windows.

All of them implement IWavePlayer, so once instantiated, using them is pretty much the same for each class - just call Init() and pass in your IWaveProvider. All of them except WasapiOut can be constructed without paramaters, so all you need is:

waveOutDevice = new WaveOut();
