It's not a useless comment :) When you use the appropriate [tags](https://stackoverflow.com/help/tagging) (which I already fixed for you), your question reaches those who are interested/experts in these tags. That said, have you checked the duplicate question? — 41686d6564 stands w. Palestine, Jun 14 '18 at 16:04

I use this code to do that:

static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var url = "fake-url";
        using (var mf = new CustomWaveOutEvent(url))
        using (var wo = new WaveOutEvent())
        {
            wo.Init(mf);
            wo.Play();
            while (wo.PlaybackState == PlaybackState.Playing)
            {
                Thread.Sleep(1000);
            }
        }
    }

And the class CustomWaveOutEvent is:

public class CustomWaveOutEvent : MediaFoundationReader
{
    private WaveFileWriter fileStream;

    public CustomWaveOutEvent(string file) : base(file)
    {
        fileStream = new WaveFileWriter("OutputFile.wav", this.WaveFormat);
    }

    public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)
    {
        var dataToReturn = base.Read(buffer, offset, count);

        fileStream.Write(buffer);

        return dataToReturn;
    }
}

I hope to be helpful
