The stop() method of the AudioBufferSourceNode Interface is used to schedule when audio buffer playback should stop.
Syntax
var source = audioCtx.createBufferSource(); source.stop(audioCtx.currentTime + 3);
Examples
The most simple example just stops the audio buffer playing immediately — you don't need to specify any parameters in this case:
source.stop();
If you want to stop the playback after a certain time, you specify a seconds value as an argument:
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.
Parameters
- when
- The
whenparameter 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.
Returns
Void.
