Wav Utility for Unity

WAV utility for recording and audio playback functions in Unity.

Usage

Use ToAudioClip method for loading wav file / bytes.

Loads .wav (PCM uncompressed) files at 8,16,24 and 32 bits and converts data to Unity's AudioClip.

public AudioSource audioSource; // hook up with scene's AudioSource in Unity Editor inspector
public void LoadWavFile (string filename)
  {
  	string path = string.Format ("{0}/{1}", Application.persistentDataPath, filename);
  	AudioClip audioClip = WavUtility.ToAudioClip (path);
  	audioSource.clip = audioClip;
  	audioSource.Play ();
  }

Use FromAudioClip method for saving wav file / bytes.

Converts an AudioClip's float data into wav byte array at 16 bit.

private AudioClip audioClip;
public int recordTime = 2; // no. of seconds can be set in Unity Editor inspector
private const int sampleRate = 16000; // sample rate for recording speech
public void RecordAudio ()
  {
  	if (Microphone.devices.Length == 0) {
  		Debug.LogWarning ("No microphone found to record audio clip sample with.");
  		return;
  	}
  	string mic = Microphone.devices [0];
  	audioClip = Microphone.Start (mic, false, recordTime, sampleRate);
  }

public string SaveWavFile ()
  {
  	string filepath;
  	byte[] bytes = WavUtility.FromAudioClip (audioClip, out filepath, true);
  	return filepath;
  }

Notes

By design the ToAudioClip method only supports loading wav files that are stored using Unity's Application data path (Application.persistentDataPath or Application.dataPath). In order to load bundled resources it would be better to use Unity's Resources.Load("filename") typeof(AudioClip) method.

If you need to load WAV files from a remote URL then use the UnityWebRequest.GetAudioClip method which uses the AudioClip download handler.

public void LoadAudio ()
{
  string url = "<WAV_FILE_URL>";
  StartCoroutine (LoadAudioURL (url));
}
public IEnumerator LoadAudioURL (string url)
{
  UnityWebRequest www = UnityWebRequest.GetAudioClip (url, AudioType.WAV);
  yield return www.Send ();
  if (www.isError) {
    Debug.LogWarning ("Audio error:" + www.error);
  } else {
    AudioClip audioClip = ((DownloadHandlerAudioClip)www.downloadHandler).audioClip;
    audioSource.clip = audioClip;
    audioSource.Play ();
  }
}
