BaseAudioContext: destination property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since April 2021.

The destination property of the BaseAudioContext interface returns an AudioDestinationNode representing the final destination of all audio in the context. It often represents an actual audio-rendering device such as your device's speakers.

Value

An AudioDestinationNode.

Examples

Note: For more complete applied examples/information, check out our Voice-change-O-matic demo (see app.js lines 108–193 for relevant code).

js
const audioCtx = new AudioContext();
// Older webkit/blink browsers require a prefix

const oscillatorNode = audioCtx.createOscillator();
const gainNode = audioCtx.createGain();

oscillatorNode.connect(gainNode);
gainNode.connect(audioCtx.destination);
