I need a low-latency framework/library for accessing microphone and speakers in a Mac. There are several frameworks/libraries available by Apple. My problem is these libraries seem to work either with Objective-C or Swift.

I need a library/framework that works with plain C to access speakers and microphone. Something like ALSA in Linux.

Thanks,

Boost

Take a look at Audio Queue Services ( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/audiotoolbox/audio_queue_services ). It's straightforward, handles basic buffer queue management for you, and is pure C.
