Hey there,

i tried to find some infos about the audio features of godot but couldn’t.
What lib is godot using and can it run the audio in a separate thread to get more precise timing acuracy?

Are there infos about that?

It’s exactly what I want to know,too

Why does Godot use Servers and RIDs?

From the code it looks like RTAudio is used in Windows and I could not find an answer about other platforms, https://github.com/godotengine/godot/tree/master/drivers/rtaudio

but I can confirm that by default audio playback is already in a thread.

And about accuracy, of course not even close to real-time, but still quite usable time precision accuracy can be achieved with AudioServer that gives low level audio access.
