AudioContext: baseLatency property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since April 2021.
Please help us by answering a few questions.
The baseLatency read-only property of the
AudioContext interface returns a double that represents the number of
seconds of processing latency incurred by the AudioContext passing an audio
buffer from the AudioDestinationNode — i.e. the end of the audio graph —
into the host system's audio subsystem ready for playing.
Note:
You can request a certain latency during
construction time with the
latencyHint option, but the browser may ignore the option.
Value
A double representing the base latency in seconds.
Examples
js
// default latency ("interactive")
const audioCtx1 = new AudioContext();
console.log(audioCtx1.baseLatency); // 0.00
// higher latency ("playback")
const audioCtx2 = new AudioContext({ latencyHint: "playback" });
console.log(audioCtx2.baseLatency); // 0.15
