Build audacity with ASIO support on Windows

README.md

Build your own Audacity for Windows with ASIO driver support

You might want Audacity to work with the ASIO drivers supplied with your sound devices. Commmon reasons for this are:

• Only ASIO drivers are available for your hardware (eg Behringer mixers)
• Performance - ASIO has low latency (delays)
• You don't want to use the ASIO4All bridging driver with non ASIO drivers
• Multi channel support - though Audacity is not so good at handling other than Stereo or Mono

Due to licensing restrictions the Audacity team cannot provide a prebuilt version with Windows ASIO driver support. But with this guide and script you can easily build your own Audacity with ASIO support.

This builds the latest Audacity release 3.6.3 by default. Recent other versions can be built with the -v option

Background

Drivers are the glue between an audio program like Audacity and external hardware like a mixer or sound interface. The drivers usually used on Windows have limitations which can be overcome if you use ASIO drivers for your hardware. Specifically, low latency (delay) and multi channel support are available with ASIO drivers.

The Audacity program is the "go to" solution for many audio recording and editing tasks. However, unlike many more advanced DAWs, it doesn't support Windows ASIO drivers "out of the box". Fortunately, Audiacity's standard MME support is fine for most uses. That said, common reasons for needing ASIO include using digital audio or music equipment that only comes with ASIO drivers, such as Behringer mixers (which actually suggest using the less efficient ASIO4ALL ASIO to WDM bridging driver). Another common reason is to take advantage of the low latency or multiple channels supported by ASIO. Note that Audacity really is not a good multichannel solution, so if that is required a DAW might be a better bet.

While it is possible to build your own Audacity with ASIO support by following the instructions this usually requires considerable technical skills.

But have no fear, the instructions and script provided here make it easy to build your own version of Audacity with ASIO support. You just need a suitable Windows PC. The script installs all required tools and builds a 64 bit release version of Audacity with ASIO for you using the official build instructions.

NB. If you do use this to build Audacity with ASIO support you must not redistribute it due to the ASIO SDK licensing terms - see below.

Here's a brief blog post explaining why I needed ASIO and it includes a screen shot. But note, since writing that, I discovered my McMillen K-Mix digital interface mixer facilities alow routing of inputs 3 & 4 to the main outputs on 1 and 2 so can use the default MME Audacity build after all. For playback from PC, I found the HiFi Driver and ASIO Bridge from VB Audio lets me re-route PC audio out to channels 3 & 4 on the K-Mix, Leaving Channels 1 & 2 free for instruments and Mics.

Licensing

The reason for Audacity's lack of ASIO support is licensing, not technical. Steinberg do not alow the ASIO SDK to be redistributed (as required by open source projects). In addition, Audacity is GPL licensed and so is incompatible with the ASIO SDK licence redistribution rules.

Development PC

The script installs a set of development tools that are known to build Audacity. Due to the complex nature of such tools, any other versions of them on your PC may interfere with this script. Thus this scipt should be run on a clean PC without any developer tools. No support can be offered otherwise.

If you would rather not install these tools (Git for Windows, Visual Studio, CMake, Python and Conan), or you already have versions of them or even if you are having build problems, you can use a one of the following Vitual Machines:

• Windows Sandbox - Sandbox can be enabled on Windows 10/11 Pro/Enterprise and can also be installed on Windows Home with a bit of effort. If the build experiences memory errors you will need a configuration file to provide more memory than the default 4GB.
• A virtualisation program - install a VM and and a matching Developer Virtual Machine Image from Microsoft. In most cases VirtualBox will be a good choice (import the Microsoft supplied .ova appliance file but the Visual Studio pre installed in the VM must be uninstalled first to avoid problems).

In both cases you can copy the built files to where they will be run from on you PC file system, possibly by sharing a PC folder with the VM.

Step by Step Instructions

• Ensure you have a PC (or VM) with Windows 10 or 11 installed.
• Make a new folder C:\projects.
• Click on the 'raw' button at the top of the script (below) in this Gist.
• Use the browser Save As (right click) feature to save the script as This PC -> C:\projects\build-audacity.cmd. To avoid it being saved as a text file type the filename in quotes, eg "build-audacity.cmd".
• open a new Windows cmd terminal (Windows + R keys and then type cmd)
• Type cd \projects and enter key.
• Install required tools and build by typing build-audacity.cmd and enter (use -v3.3.3 if requred).
  • Follow the prompts, pressing a key to start each tool's installer (when previous has finished).
  • NB for Visual Studio, make sure you check the "desktop development with C++" workload
  • If you have a non English Windows or Visual Studio then you must also install the English language packs.
• Come back later - it will take at least 10 minutes.
• Audactiy will be launched to test it was built correctly.
  • See the program location printed out at the end of the build so you can run it again.
  • Optionally copy the specified folder to where you want to run Audacity from, optionally renaming it.

(This video by @Renamesk walks you through the process, but the tool installation method has changed.)

If you have any ASIO drivers installed for active connected hardware you should find ASIO is now available in the the Audacity driver selection combo box which probably currently shows 'MME' selected (you may need to show using menu item View -> Toolbars -> Device toolbar).

NB: The Audacity settings and preferences are stored in a folder "Portable Settings" next to the audacity program. If you want to use settings in the user's home directory then delete this folder.

When things go wrong

As with any complex software build there are many moving parts (including Windows itself) and things can sometimes go wrong. Here are some tips if you hit build errors.

If everyhting falls or you just want to shortcut lots of painful debugging then try a Microsoft Windows Virtual machine (VM) as mentioned above.

• make sure you have latest script
• make sure you are in a folder C:\projects in the cmd window
• ensure you are an administrator on your Windows 10 or 11 64 bit PC (ie not a organisational PC)?
• run the script with --cleanall and try again
• uninstall all the tools and installers (Python, cmake, Visual Studio) and then reboot before trying again
  • note having other versions of any of the tools installed may well cause problems - remove them
• ensure you ticked the specified options when installing Visual Studio and Python, reinstall if unsure
• read the error output - clues are often buried in reams of impenetrable text
• disable any Anti Virus - the built-in Microsoft one is usually not a problem
• if your PC is not English make sure you have EN language packs installed for Windows and VS

@GrumpyOldDrummer just discovered VB Audio Matrix which might provide a partial workaround for Audacity's lack of multitrack usability,:

I think it will let me use both of my interfaces without lots of config changes.

Thanks.

Now also builds 3.5.0-beta with audio.com support
Switched to RelWithDebInfo config as per Audacity releases

Hi, thanks for the great script. I'd like to suggest a few fixes and improvements.

First of all, installing gettext and iconv is required to build Audacity if you want to use it in another language, otherwise the strings in the UI will have encoding issues, and for some reason this will cause Audacity to crash when trying to record.
Weird that the build doesn't fail or give any warnings, but still.

I downloaded it from here: https://github.com/vslavik/gettext-tools-windows
Just make sure the contents of /bin are somewhere in your %PATH%.

A bit of a tangent here: about using Visual Studio in English, I remember it was due to a dependency that read the console to determine if the build was successful. Except it used a regex on the human readable string instead of looking at the error code. So if it was not English, it considered the build to have failed. I don't remember what this dependency was, I just remember that - quite a while ago - after a long search I finally found a bug report from years ago by an Italian user that explained what I just said, and the answer from the developers was basically WONTFIX. If you know what this dependency was and if it is still present in Audacity, I suppose you could mention it in the docs.

I would also like to suggest adding the ability to build the master branch.

Add this after line 54:
if [%AUDACITY_REL%] == [master] set CMAKE_OPTS=%CMAKE_OPTS% -Daudacity_has_audiocom_upload=On -Daudacity_has_networking=On -Daudacity_has_url_schemes_support=On

And change the git clone command like this

if not [%AUDACITY_REL%] == [master] git clone -b Audacity-%AUDACITY_REL% --recurse-submodules https://github.com/audacity/audacity/ %AUDACITY%
if [%AUDACITY_REL%] == [master] git clone -b %AUDACITY_REL% --recurse-submodules https://github.com/audacity/audacity/ %AUDACITY%

And one last thing, add the ability to build the installer. This will add Inno Setup 6 to the list of required software to be installed before building.
I just build the installer by default without any further switches, you may want to do it differently.
These are the commands:

:build
cd %AUDACITY_BUILD%
set msbuild="%VSDIR%\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MsBuild.exe"
%msbuild% ALL_BUILD.vcxproj -p:configuration=%MAKE_CONFIG%
if ERRORLEVEL 1 echo Error: cannot build Audacity & goto exit
%msbuild% PACKAGE.vcxproj -p:configuration=%MAKE_CONFIG% -p:Platform="x64"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 echo Error: cannot build Audacity & goto exit
%msbuild% innosetup.vcxproj -p:configuration=%MAKE_CONFIG% -p:Platform="x64"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 echo Error: cannot build Audacity & goto exit

The installer will be in %AUDACITY_BUILD%\innosetup\Output

Thanks again for this script, you saved me a lot of time.

Edited to add: I added the whole C:\projects folder to the exclusion list in Windows Defender, otherwise the build would sometimes fail complaining that %AUDACITY_BUILD%\innosetup\audacity.iss was inaccessible because it was being used by another process.
Further edited for grammar and formatting.

@ Rhiannon81 thank you so much for your compliments and great contributions. Here's some very guick comments - I'll think more deeply too

• gettext and iconv - I agree it is very weird if these are an optional dependency. I must admit I didn't think about internationalisation at all in any way (shame on me) and assumed the build just took it all in to account. This just uses the developer build instructions and they make no mention of internationalisation, perhaps as devs are expected to use English (hmmm). I'll raise this with the devs at some point in case there are more issues than you noticed.

Any ideas how I would test to check adding those deps worked? Does it require a language version of WIndows or a Lang pack?

• master branch - as this is designed for users and so release builds only that never occurred as something that would be useful. I guess devs can easily hack the script - I do often ;) What is your use case here? I might add anyway. The problem is when the build chain changes the script gets much more complex, not just checking out the right branch. I'd rather just ensure latest few releases are buildable to be honest

• Installer - interesting idea and I can see some might find it useful or preferable due to familiarity. Especially if wanting to deploy to another device (or VM) or multiple devices (unlikely). Much as I love Inno (I used it many year ago for a Powerpoint TTS app ), for local use only just using or copying the files like a portable app is fairly straight forward. As is s creating a shortcut (just right click) and works as there are no install time registry setup requirements. I'll probably add this soon as it does not harm (other than more code to maintain - lol).

• Defender problems - Will definitely add that as a suggestion as I think I just turned it off for \Projects anyway for speed many moon ago. I never saw that error you had. Now I tend to just use Sandbox - though is quite slow.

Thanks again for these great suggestions!

Hi again.

If I remember correctly, the requirement for gettext and iconv was introduced somewhere during the alpha/beta development of version 3.3.0, in September 2022 I think. One day, building from master branch just started showing the symptoms I explained, and it took me quite a long time to understand what was wrong.

As for how to test for this kind of problem, unfortunately I have no idea.

I am using Visual Studio in English (I uninstalled all other language packs) because of my experience with that old dependency, but my Windows is not in English.

I actually have no particuar reason to build from master branch, I'm doing it just because. But yeah, I understand that all the problems I just talked about are very good reasons not to add the ability to build from master in your script.

And for the installer, again, it's just the convenience of copying just one file and then clicking install-next-finish, since I'm building in a VM.

@Rhiannon81 can you at least give an example of how to get bad text without the extra dependencies. It sounds like I might need a non EN WIndows SKU though :( Thanks

To build master you could just "git clone" yourself then use the --noget script option. A bit fiddly I know.

@SteveALee I suppose that if gettext and iconv don't exist in your PATH you could just run Audacity and change the language in Preferences - Interface.

To give you an example, in Italian, the Attività menu shows up as AttivitÃ

I thought of something, I might be totally wrong though: if you do happen to have gettext and iconv in your path, how did they get there?
I thought maybe they used to be automatically installed with either git or python and at some point they weren't anymore?

@Rhiannon81 Hmm, capitalisation of the A? Strange bug.

And there's the dev and user paths to think about. All a bit strange.

Tested Audacity 3.5.1
Updated conan to 2.3.2 so new VisualStudio 17.10.0 (msvc19.40) works

Now builds 3.6.1

A big thank you guys for this script, i was able to build audacity 3.6.1 with ASIO. But my limitation was that i can't hear the live recording as i am recording. Because the playback device can't select anything order than ASIO.
My request is can the script to updated to enable the playback device to select any other channel like the headphone?

That's not the scope of this script, but an limitation inside Audacity.
You cannot have different audio hosts for Record/Playback.

[offtopic]
Some Realtek chips offer an ASIO driver as well, which may help you in this issue.
Otherwise have a look at "ASIO4All", which provides you an ASIO interface for a non-ASIO device - using this you should be able to playback to ASIO4All, routing this to your headphone.

For use OpenVINO AI effects for Audacity,
Modify command
-DAUDACITY_BUILD_LEVEL=0 to
-DAUDACITY_BUILD_LEVEL=2

@YY-Kim Thank you - I bumped that for now but I need to check all options against the release build process now I know to find it in the tar.gz source archive.

Release 2.8.0 = builds Audacity 3.6.3

Thanks @Giermann Note to @jikanet that ASIO4All is a "hack" that circumvents the advantages of using ASIO drivers with ASIO ready software.

Release 2.9.0 = builds Audacity 3.6.4

The new work on windows music stack includes an in box usb and ASIO drivers so the need for this script will eventually fade away. Huzzah!! Read Pete Brown's posts for details, at least arm64 and hopefully x86 too.

Sounds a welcome step...  I hope it works with my non-ARM PC and my Behringer interface... In the meantime, I'd like to repeat my thanks to you! Chris @SteveALee commented on this gist.
