# Audio

## Play Audio

```javascript
const audio = new Audio('audio_file.mp3'); //or url
audio.play();
audio.pause();
```

```javascript
audio.currentTime;
audio.duration;
audioPlayer.addEventListener("timeupdate", () => {})
audioPlayer.addEventListener("ended", () => {});
```

## Record Audio

JS

```javascript
const stopButton = document.getElementById("stop");

const handleSuccess = function(stream) {
  console.log("Success");
  const options = { mimeType: "audio/webm" };
  const mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder(stream, options);

  stopButton.onclick = () => {
    mediaRecorder.stop();
  };

  mediaRecorder.addEventListener("dataavailable", function(e) {
    if (e.data.size > 0) {
      console.log("Stopped", e);
      const audioURL = URL.createObjectURL(e.data);
      downloadLink.href = audioURL;
      downloadLink.download = "help.webm";
      if (window.URL) {
          player.srcObject = stream;
        } else {
             player.src = stream;
        }
    }
  });

  mediaRecorder.start();
};

navigator.mediaDevices
  .getUserMedia({ audio: true, video: false })
  .then(handleSuccess);
```

Html

```markup
<a id="download"> Download </a>
<button id="stop"> Stop </button>
<audio id="player" controls></audio>
```

## Audio Viz

```javascript
const VIZ_SENSITIVITY = 150;

useEffect(() => {
  let analyser; //"global"

  function update() {
    // Schedule the next update
    if (analyser) {
      requestAnimationFrame(update);

      const frequencyData = new Uint8Array(analyser.frequencyBinCount);
      const els = document.querySelectorAll(".audio_bar");
      // Get the new frequency data
      analyser.getByteFrequencyData(frequencyData);
            const average = frequencyData.reduce((acc, e) => acc + e / frequencyData.length, 0);
      const newPercent = (average / 255) * VIZ_SENSITIVITY;
      els[0].style.height = Math.min(newPercent, 100) + "%";
    }
  }

  if (audioStream) {
    console.log("Creating contexts");
    const audioCtx = new AudioContext();
    const source = audioCtx.createMediaStreamSource(audioStream);
    analyser = audioCtx.createAnalyser();
    source.connect(analyser);
    analyser.fftSize = 2048;
    // analyser.connect(audioCtx.destination);
    update();
    return () => (analyser = null);
  }
}, [audioStream, recordingState]);
```

## Audio Context

Analyze and create and play audio

Create, manipulate, and play audio

If you dont want to play it, use [`OfflineAudioContext`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/OfflineAudioContext).

```javascript
const audioCtx = new (window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext)();
const sine = audioCtx.createOscillator();
sine.start();
sine.connect(audioCtx.destination);
```

1. Create the audio context.
2. Inside the context, create sources — such as [\`\`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/audio), oscillator, or stream.
3. Create effects nodes, such as reverb, biquad filter, panner, or compressor.
4. Choose the final destination for the audio, such as the user's computer speakers.
5. Establish connections from the audio sources through zero or more effects, eventually ending at the chosen destination.

### Edge Cases

Chrome needs use interaction before creating an audio context ot it

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://openai.gitbook.io/code-cheatsheets/js/webjs/audio.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
