          Apple's main low-level Audio Framework / API for macOS 10.0+ is Core Audio.
          https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreaudio




          Framework



          Core Audio



          Use specialized data types to interact with audio streams, complex buffers, and audiovisual timestamps.
          SDKs



          Overview



          The Core Audio framework (which is not an umbrella framework for the other services in Core Audio, but rather a peer) declares data types and constants used by other Core Audio interfaces. This framework also includes a handful of convenience functions.
