audio processing fundamentals with C++

I played around with capturing/playing/processing audio with SDL2. It aint much, but you can use the capture/playback classes as a starting point. Works on Windows and Linux alike.

Hi, Openal-soft uses this algorithm for HRTF processing. You can look: https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft

I would recommend developing against OpenAL-Soft in C++: https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft . It is cross-platform, fully 3D for advanced game audio, and has enough low-level control to enable you to do pretty much anything with it. It is not for the faint of heart and will likely take years to fully learn, but is well documented, open source, and production-ready. Compile the lib, link it to your C++ protect and go. You can even ask chatGPT to help you set it up and figure it out.

I can't try this https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft/issues/554 because it's for Linux Arch, and I'm using Linux Mint 21 XFCE. This bug also happened to me with Pop!_OS LTS.
Anyone know a good OpenAL alternative or wrapper which works on Apple platforms?

Sounds like you want OpenAL Soft a cross platform LGPL software implementation of OpenAL. Source code and issue tracker are [on Github](0https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft).

This allows SS2 to output surround audio (5.1). Just set channels=surround51 in the alsoft.ini to make the audio 5.1. (you can refer to this for more ini options).

Lazyfoo is always an option for SDL2. You should be able to generate sound with it rather than play files, at least the mixer example for the rust bindings does it. As for OpenAL, the OpenAL Soft implementation is as you said LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public License) licensed, which is an open source license. The source is available here. SDL2 is also open source under the zlib license, and SDL 1.2 and older is available under the LGPL license as well.
