HTMLMediaElement: setSinkId() method
Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.
The setSinkId()
method of the HTMLMediaElement
interface sets the ID of the audio device to use for output and returns a Promise
.
This only works when the application is permitted to use the specified device. For more information see the security requirements below.
Syntax
setSinkId(sinkId)
Parameters
sinkId
-
The
MediaDeviceInfo.deviceId
of the audio output device.
Return value
Exceptions
NotAllowedError
DOMException
-
Returned if a
speaker-selection
Permissions Policy is used to block use of audio outputs. NotFoundError
DOMException
-
Returned if the
deviceId
does not match any audio output device. AbortError
DOMException
-

Security requirements
Access to the API is subject to the following constraints:
- The method must be called in a secure context.
- Access may be gated by the
speaker-selection
HTTP Permission Policy. -
User permission is required to access a non-default device.
The user grants permission by selecting the device associated with the ID in the prompt displayed by
MediaDevices.selectAudioOutput()
.
Examples
This example shows how to select an audio output device from the array returned by MediaDevices.enumerateDevices()
, and set it as the sink for audio.
Note that the result of enumerateDevices()
only includes devices for which user permission is not required or has already been granted.
const devices = await navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices();
const audioDevice = devices.find((device) => device.kind === "audiooutput");
const audio = document.createElement("audio");
await audio.setSinkId(audioDevice.deviceId);
console.log(`Audio is being output on ${audio.sinkId}`);
