Why does audioContext muted the sound-CodePudding

I'm trying to do a visualiser like this: Visualiser Audio js

But with the file that is on my pc not one that the customer can choose. Like here the file is on my pc.

<audio src="a.mp3" id="audioHTML" controls></audio>

I found this person doing it but it's the customer who choose the file they want, so how can I do it ?

I tried this but the sound is muted and that's my problem. (when I delete 'var context = new AudioContext();' the sound is back but obviously there is not the visualiser)

'use strict'

var audio = document.getElementById("audioHTML");
  

function playAudio() {
    audio.play();

    var context = new AudioContext();
    var src = context.createMediaElementSource(audio);
    var analyser = context.createAnalyser();

    var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
    canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
    canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
    var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

    src.connect(analyser);
    analyser.connect(context.destination);

   
    analyser.fftSize = 256;
    
    var bufferLength = analyser.frequencyBinCount;
    console.log(bufferLength);
    
   
    var dataArray = new Uint8Array(bufferLength);

    var WIDTH = canvas.width;
    var HEIGHT = canvas.height;

    var barWidth = (WIDTH / bufferLength) * 2.5;
    var barHeight;
    var x = 0;

    function renderFrame() {
      requestAnimationFrame(renderFrame);

      x = 0;

      analyser.getByteFrequencyData(dataArray);

      ctx.fillStyle = "#000";
      ctx.fillRect(0, 0, WIDTH, HEIGHT);

      for (var i = 0; i < bufferLength; i  ) {
        barHeight = dataArray[i];
        
        var r = barHeight   (25 * (i/bufferLength));
        var g = 250 * (i/bufferLength);
        var b = 50;

        ctx.fillStyle = "rgb("   r   ","   g   ","   b   ")";
        ctx.fillRect(x, HEIGHT - barHeight, barWidth, barHeight);

        x  = barWidth   1;
      }
    }

    audio.play();
    renderFrame();
   }

CodePudding user response：

For your audio element, try setting the crossorigin attribute to use-credentials.

<audio src="https://..." crossorigin="use-credentials" id="audioHTML" controls></audio>

Without it, the MediaElementSourceNode in your AudioContext may just output silent samples, to prevent scripts from loading cross-domain resources.
