AudioContext extension type

The AudioContext interface represents an audio-processing graph built from audio modules linked together, each represented by an AudioNode.

An audio context controls both the creation of the nodes it contains and the execution of the audio processing, or decoding. You need to create an AudioContext before you do anything else, as everything happens inside a context. It's recommended to create one AudioContext and reuse it instead of initializing a new one each time, and it's OK to use a single AudioContext for several different audio sources and pipeline concurrently.

inherited
createChannelSplitter([int numberOfOutputs]) ChannelSplitterNode
The createChannelSplitter() method of the BaseAudioContext Interface is used to create a ChannelSplitterNode, which is used to access the individual channels of an audio stream and process them separately.
inherited
createConstantSource() ConstantSourceNode
The createConstantSource() property of the BaseAudioContext interface creates a ConstantSourceNode object, which is an audio source that continuously outputs a monaural (one-channel) sound signal whose samples all have the same value.
inherited
createConvolver() ConvolverNode
The createConvolver() method of the BaseAudioContext interface creates a ConvolverNode, which is commonly used to apply reverb effects to your audio. See the spec definition of Convolution for more information.
inherited
createDelay([num maxDelayTime]) DelayNode
The createDelay() method of the BaseAudioContext Interface is used to create a DelayNode, which is used to delay the incoming audio signal by a certain amount of time.
inherited
createDynamicsCompressor() DynamicsCompressorNode
The createDynamicsCompressor() method of the BaseAudioContext Interface is used to create a DynamicsCompressorNode, which can be used to apply compression to an audio signal.
inherited
createGain() GainNode
The createGain() method of the BaseAudioContext interface creates a GainNode, which can be used to control the overall gain (or volume) of the audio graph.
inherited
createIIRFilter(JSArray<JSNumber> feedforward, JSArray<JSNumber> feedback) IIRFilterNode
The createIIRFilter() method of the BaseAudioContext interface creates an IIRFilterNode, which represents a general infinite impulse response (IIR) filter which can be configured to serve as various types of filter.
inherited
createMediaElementSource(HTMLMediaElement mediaElement) MediaElementAudioSourceNode
The createMediaElementSource() method of the AudioContext Interface is used to create a new MediaElementAudioSourceNode object, given an existing HTML audio or video element, the audio from which can then be played and manipulated.
createMediaStreamDestination() MediaStreamAudioDestinationNode
The createMediaStreamDestination() method of the AudioContext Interface is used to create a new MediaStreamAudioDestinationNode object associated with a WebRTC MediaStream representing an audio stream, which may be stored in a local file or sent to another computer.
createMediaStreamSource(MediaStream mediaStream) MediaStreamAudioSourceNode
The createMediaStreamSource() method of the AudioContext Interface is used to create a new MediaStreamAudioSourceNode object, given a media stream (say, from a MediaDevices.getUserMedia instance), the audio from which can then be played and manipulated.
createMediaStreamTrackSource(MediaStreamTrack mediaStreamTrack) MediaStreamTrackAudioSourceNode
The createMediaStreamTrackSource() method of the AudioContext interface creates and returns a MediaStreamTrackAudioSourceNode which represents an audio source whose data comes from the specified MediaStreamTrack.
createOscillator() OscillatorNode
The createOscillator() method of the BaseAudioContext interface creates an OscillatorNode, a source representing a periodic waveform. It basically generates a constant tone.
inherited
createPanner() PannerNode
The createPanner() method of the BaseAudioContext Interface is used to create a new PannerNode, which is used to spatialize an incoming audio stream in 3D space.
inherited
createPeriodicWave(JSArray<JSNumber> real, JSArray<JSNumber> imag, [PeriodicWaveConstraints constraints]) PeriodicWave
The createPeriodicWave() method of the BaseAudioContext Interface is used to create a PeriodicWave, which is used to define a periodic waveform that can be used to shape the output of an OscillatorNode.
inherited
createScriptProcessor([int bufferSize, int numberOfInputChannels, int numberOfOutputChannels]) ScriptProcessorNode
The createScriptProcessor() method of the BaseAudioContext interface creates a ScriptProcessorNode used for direct audio processing.
inherited
createStereoPanner() StereoPannerNode
The createStereoPanner() method of the BaseAudioContext interface creates a StereoPannerNode, which can be used to apply stereo panning to an audio source. It positions an incoming audio stream in a stereo image using a low-cost panning algorithm.
inherited
createWaveShaper() WaveShaperNode
The createWaveShaper() method of the BaseAudioContext interface creates a WaveShaperNode, which represents a non-linear distortion. It is used to apply distortion effects to your audio.
inherited
decodeAudioData(JSArrayBuffer audioData, [DecodeSuccessCallback? successCallback, DecodeErrorCallback? errorCallback]) JSPromise<AudioBuffer>
The decodeAudioData() method of the BaseAudioContext Interface is used to asynchronously decode audio file data contained in an ArrayBuffer that is loaded from fetch, XMLHttpRequest, or FileReader. The decoded AudioBuffer is resampled to the AudioContext's sampling rate, then passed to a callback or promise.
inherited
dispatchEvent(Event event) bool
The dispatchEvent() method of the EventTarget sends an Event to the object, (synchronously) invoking the affected event listeners in the appropriate order. The normal event processing rules (including the capturing and optional bubbling phase) also apply to events dispatched manually with dispatchEvent().
inherited
getOutputTimestamp() AudioTimestamp
The getOutputTimestamp() method of the AudioContext interface returns a new AudioTimestamp object containing two audio timestamp values relating to the current audio context.
