Hi, I'm working on a small project C# project where I want to play MP3 files on a specific output device. I already found a project here where this was possible for WAV files using DirectSound (The ultimate Managed DirectSound 9 Tutorial. Part 1: a full introduction to Playback[^]) but this doesn't support MP3.
Does anyone have an idea how I could do this using DirectX?

I don't think DirectSound has any built-in MP3 decoder. You'll have to use a third-party library to do that. The BASS audio library[^] has a good reputation and a .Net version that you can use.
