Live Audio Network Feed via LAN

Question

This particular problem is that when attempting to send Loopback audio from one PC to another, the audio buffers and stalls for fractions of a second; micro stutters occur.

Using the example from NAudio's ReadFullyStream sends the audio with no hitches, only that upon processing, it will pause for the length of a second or two.

Server:

private void Capture_DataAvailable(object sender, WaveInEventArgs e)
{
    stream.Write(e.Buffer, 0, e.BytesRecorded);
}

and client:

wave = new WaveOut()
{
    DesiredLatency = 500
};
wave.Init(buff); //BufferedWaveProvider
wave.Play();
while ((read = stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
{
    buff.AddSamples(buffer, 0, read);
}

The code I am using is painfully simplified, and is using Tcp since I put it together before I knew Udp was the preferred choice.

The current result is that audio plays, but stutters every half-second or so.

Answer 1

A network using UdpClient solved the microstuttering, although it did not resolve stuttering altogether. This might be accomplished by sending audio as encoded Mp3 and decoding it client-side. As it stands, it is sending uncompressed data live with minor gaps.
