# Core Audio APIs

## -description

Overview of the Core Audio APIs technology.

To develop Core Audio APIs, you need these headers:

 * [audioclient.h](../audioclient/index.md)
 * [audioendpoints.h](../audioendpoints/index.md)
 * [audioenginebaseapo.h](../audioenginebaseapo/index.md)
 * [audioengineendpoint.h](../audioengineendpoint/index.md)
 * [audiopolicy.h](../audiopolicy/index.md)
 * [audiosessiontypes.h](../audiosessiontypes/index.md)
 * [devicetopology.h](../devicetopology/index.md)
 * [endpointvolume.h](../endpointvolume/index.md)
 * [mmdeviceapi.h](../mmdeviceapi/index.md)
 * [spatialaudioclient.h](../spatialaudioclient/index.md)
 * [spatialaudiohrtf.h](../spatialaudiohrtf/index.md)
 * [spatialaudiometadata.h](../spatialaudiometadata/index.md)
