The AudioTrack
property enabled
specifies whether or not the described audio track is currently enabled for use. If the track is disabled by setting enabled
to false
, the track is muted and does not produce audio.
The AudioTrack
property enabled
specifies whether or not the described audio track is currently enabled for use. If the track is disabled by setting enabled
to false
, the track is muted and does not produce audio.
The enabled
property is a Boolean whose value is true
if the track is enabled; enabled tracks produce audio while the media is playing. Setting enabled
to false
effectively mutes the audio track, preventing it from contributing to the media's audio performance.
This example switches between the main and commentary audio tracks of a media element.
js
function swapCommentaryMain() { const videoElem = document.getElementById("main-video"); let audioTrackMain; let audioTrackCommentary; videoElem.audioTracks.forEach((track) => { if (track.kind === "main") { audioTrackMain = track; } else if (track.kind === "commentary") { audioTrackCommentary = track; } }); if (audioTrackMain && audioTrackCommentary) { const commentaryEnabled = audioTrackCommentary.enabled; audioTrackCommentary.enabled = audioTrackMain.enabled; audioTrackMain.enabled = commentaryEnabled; } }
The swapCommentaryMain()
function above finds within the audio tracks of the <video>
element "main-video"
the audio tracks whose kind
values are "main"
and "commentary"
. These represent the primary audio track and the commentary track.
Note: This example assumes that there is only one of each kind of track in the video, but this is not necessarily the case.
The element's audio tracks are then scanned through using the JavaScript forEach()
method (although the audioTracks
property of a media element isn't actually a JavaScript array, it can be accessed like one for the most part).
The scan looks for the tracks whose kind
values are "main"
and "commentary"
and remembers those AudioTrack
objects. Once those have been found, the values of the two tracks' enabled
properties are exchanged, which results in swapping which of the two tracks is currently active.
