AudioBufferSourceNode.stop()

The stop() method of the AudioBufferSourceNode Interface is used to schedule when audio buffer playback should stop.

Syntax

js;highlight[20]

Copy Code

var source = audioCtx.createBufferSource();
source.stop(audioCtx.currentTime + 3);

The most simple example just stops the audio buffer playing immediately — you don't need to specify any parameters in this case:

JavaScript

Copy Code

source.stop();

If you want to stop the playback after a certain time, you specify a seconds value as an argument:

JavaScript

Copy Code

source.stop(audioCtx.currentTime + 3);

Note: For a more complete example showing stop() in use, check out our AudioContext.decodeAudioData example, You can also run the code example live, or view the source.

when: The when parameter defines when the playback will stop. If it represents a time in the past, the playback will end immediately. If this method is called twice or more, an exception is raised.

Void.
