Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes.

The playbackTime
read-only property of the AudioProcessingEvent
interface represents the time when the audio will be played. It is in the same coordinate system as the time used by the AudioContext
.
Value
A number that doesn't need to be an integer.
Examples
js
const audioContext = new AudioContext();
const processor = audioContext.createScriptProcessor(256, 2, 2);
processor.addEventListener("audioprocess", (event) => {
const inputBuffer = event.inputBuffer;
const outputBuffer = event.outputBuffer;
for (let channel = 0; channel < outputBuffer.numberOfChannels; channel++) {
const inputData = inputBuffer.getChannelData(channel);
const outputData = outputBuffer.getChannelData(channel);
// Log the corresponding time for this audio buffer
console.log(`Received audio data to be played at ${event.playbackTime}`);
// Process the audio data here
for (let i = 0; i < outputBuffer.length; i++) {
outputData[i] = inputData[i] * 0.5;
}
}
});
processor.connect(audioContext.destination);
