Class: HTML5AudioSoundManager

Phaser.Sound. HTML5AudioSoundManager

HTML5AudioSoundManager

new HTML5AudioSoundManager(game)

HTML5 Audio implementation of the Sound Manager.

To play multiple instances of the same HTML5 Audio sound, you need to provide an instances value when loading the sound with the Loader:

this.load.audio('explosion', 'explosion.mp3', {
    instances: 2
});

Not all browsers can play all audio formats.

There is a good guide to what's supported: Cross-browser audio basics: Audio codec support.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
game Phaser.Game

Reference to the current game instance.

audioPlayDelay :number

Value representing time difference, in seconds, between calling play method on an audio tag and when it actually starts playing. It is used to achieve more accurate delayed sound playback.

You might need to tweak this value to get the desired results since audio play delay varies depending on the browser/platform.
