Is there any smart way to obtain the buffer size in samples in a precise way?

For the capture device and the render device. I've tried mmDevice.AudioClient.BufferSize after calling StartRecording() but it doesn't seem to contain a proper value but threw an exception.

what exception did it throw? – Mark Heath Feb 24 '20 at 17:24

It was a COM exception, most probably due to threading issues. It seems this property can only be evaluated from the audio thread that initialized the audio client. – thalm Feb 26 '20 at 19:23
