User:TucanHolmes/List of sound libraries (computing)

This list of sound libraries comprises notable programming libraries and APIs that can be used by computer software to process and play sound, usually in the form of digital audio. While a lot of programming languages and computing platforms offer primitive sound capabilities in their standard libraries/APIs, many of them don't cover sophisticated, specialized or resource-/performance-intensive use cases, or have compatibility issues, which are covered by these libraries.
