MediaStreamAudioSourceNode

A MediaElementSourceNode has no inputs and exactly one output, and is created using the AudioContext.createMediaStreamSource method. The amount of channels in the output equals the number of channels in AudioMediaStreamTrack. If there is no valid media stream, then the number of output channels will be one silent channel.

Number of inputs	0
Number of outputs	1
Channel count	defined by the AudioMediaStreamTrack passed to the AudioContext.createMediaStreamSource method that created it.

Constructor

MediaStreamAudioSourceNode.MediaStreamAudioSourceNode()

Creates a new MediaStreamAudioSourceNode instance.

Properties

Inherits properties from its parent, AudioNode.

Methods

Inherits methods from its parent, AudioNode.

Example

In this example, we grab a media (audio + video) stream from navigator.getUserMedia, feed the media into a <video> element to play then mute the audio, but then also feed the audio into a MediaStreamAudioSourceNode. Next, we feed this source audio into a low pass BiquadFilterNode (which effectively serves as a bass booster), then a AudioDestinationNode.

The range slider below the <video> element controls the amount of gain given to the lowpass filter — increase the value of the slider to make the audio sound more bass heavy!

var pre = document.querySelector('pre');
var video = document.querySelector('video');
var myScript = document.querySelector('script');
var range = document.querySelector('input');

// getUserMedia block - grab stream
// put it into a MediaStreamAudioSourceNode
// also output the visuals into a video element

if (navigator.mediaDevices) {
    console.log('getUserMedia supported.');
    navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia ({audio: true, video: true})
    .then(function(stream) {
        video.srcObject = stream;
        video.onloadedmetadata = function(e) {
            video.play();
            video.muted = true;
        };

        // Create a MediaStreamAudioSourceNode
        // Feed the HTMLMediaElement into it
        var audioCtx = new AudioContext();
        var source = audioCtx.createMediaStreamSource(stream);

        // Create a biquadfilter
        var biquadFilter = audioCtx.createBiquadFilter();
        biquadFilter.type = "lowshelf";
        biquadFilter.frequency.value = 1000;
        biquadFilter.gain.value = range.value;

        // connect the AudioBufferSourceNode to the gainNode
        // and the gainNode to the destination, so we can play the
        // music and adjust the volume using the mouse cursor
        source.connect(biquadFilter);
        biquadFilter.connect(audioCtx.destination);

        // Get new mouse pointer coordinates when mouse is moved
        // then set new gain value

        range.oninput = function() {
            biquadFilter.gain.value = range.value;
        }
    })
    .catch(function(err) {
        console.log('The following gUM error occured: ' + err);
    });
} else {
   console.log('getUserMedia not supported on your browser!');
}

// dump script to pre element

pre.innerHTML = myScript.innerHTML;
