Playing a .wav file using naudio, playback stops after 1 sec

Question

I\'m using the naudio lib in C# and want to play a simple file. The problem is, the playback stops after 1 second. I cant figure out the reason why it does that.

You need to make sure you are using function callbacks if you are trying to play audio from a console app, since the default for WaveOut is to use window callbacks.

new WaveOut(WaveCallbackInfo.FunctionCallback())

Update: With newer versions of NAudio I now recommend that you avoid function callbacks, as they can cause deadlocks with certain drivers. Instead, WaveOutEvent which uses event callbacks and a background thread is the preferred mechanism:

new WaveOutEvent()
