In Core Audio is a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) of the Apple operating systems macOS and iOS for real-time internal audio processing, as well as the connection and control of external audio hardware.
On the operating system side, these interfaces provide a direct connection to the hardware abstraction layer , which enables the low latencies required for real-time capability . A large number of front-end APIs ( Audio Units , OpenAL , MIDI , AudioToolbox etc.) are made available to the developer for use, the so-called Application Level Services.
Core Audio was shipped with the first version of Mac OS X 10.0 and is an integral part of the system. It is included in iOS from version 2.0.
