AudioSinkInfo

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The AudioSinkInfo interface of the Web Audio API represents information describing an AudioContext's sink ID, retrieved via AudioContext.sinkId.

Instance properties

type Read only

Returns the type of the audio output device.

Examples

If a new AudioContext is created with a sinkId value of { type: 'none' }, calling AudioContext.sinkId later in the code will return an AudioSinkInfo object containing type: 'none'. This is currently the only value available.

js
audioCtx = new window.AudioContext({
  sinkId: { type: "none" },
});

// …

audioCtx.sinkId;
