How to read audio files from Socket in C#?

Question

I'm using socket programming to send live audio from my mobile to Desktop. I'm using C# language in Desktop side and JAVA in Mobile side. In desktop side I am receiving the audio that is send by mobile and is in the form of bytes. Can someone tell how I would convert these bytes that I have read from socket to audio file ? Below is, how I am reading bytes from socket

Console.WriteLine("Program started!!");
TcpClient client = null;
client = new TcpClient("192.168.0.113", 9999);
if (client.Connected)
{
    Console.Write("Client connected" );

    NetworkStream ns = client.GetStream();
    StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(ns);
           
    byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];
    ns.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
    Console.Write("Server>> " + sr.ReadLine());
    Console.Write("\n Audio Bytes are " );
    foreach (byte b in buffer )
    {
        if (b!=0)
        {
            Console.Write(b);
            //TODO Convert these bytes 
        }
    }
    Console.Read();
}

Below is the output:

If you want to write the bytes to a file, you can create a FileStream and copy the bytes from the network stream directly to the file stream with CopyTo:

var ns = client.GetStream();
using(var fileStream=File.Create(path))
{
    ns.CopyTo(fs);
}

If you want to keep the bytes in memory and process them you can use a MemoryStream. This class is a Stream wrapper over a byte[] buffer.

using(var ms=new MemoryStream(2048))
{
    ns.CopyTo(ms);
}

var theBuffer=ms.GetBuffer();

A MemoryStream grows by reallocating its internal buffer when it gets full. Specifying the capacity can eliminate or reduce reallocations, even if the initial capacity is a rough estimate.
