Phaser. SoundManager

new SoundManager(game)

The Sound Manager is responsible for playing back audio via either the Legacy HTML Audio tag or via Web Audio if the browser supports it. Note: On Firefox 25+ on Linux if you have media.gstreamer disabled in about:config then it cannot play back mp3 or m4a files. The audio file type and the encoding of those files are extremely important. Not all browsers can play all audio formats. There is a good guide to what's supported here: http://hpr.dogphilosophy.net/test/

If you are reloading a Phaser Game on a page that never properly refreshes (such as in an AngularJS project) then you will quickly run out of AudioContext nodes. If this is the case create a global var called PhaserGlobal on the window object before creating the game. The active AudioContext will then be saved to window.PhaserGlobal.audioContext when the Phaser game is destroyed, and re-used when it starts again.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
game Phaser.Game

Reference to the current game instance.
