OfflineAudioContext: resume() method

Limited availability

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

The resume() method of the OfflineAudioContext interface resumes the progression of time in an audio context that has been suspended. The promise resolves immediately because the OfflineAudioContext does not require the audio hardware.

Syntax

js
resume()

Parameters

None.

Return value

A Promise resolving to undefined.

Exceptions

The promise is rejected when an exception is encountered.

InvalidStateError DOMException

Returned if the context is not currently suspended or the rendering has not started.
