    AudioBufferSourceNode.stop()

    The stop() method of the AudioBufferSourceNode Interface is used to schedule when audio buffer playback should stop.

    Syntax

    var source = audioCtx.createBufferSource();
source.stop(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(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 when parameter 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.
