AudioNode: channelCount property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨July 2015⁩.

The channelCount property of the AudioNode interface represents an integer used to determine how many channels are used when up-mixing and down-mixing connections to any inputs to the node.

channelCount's usage and precise definition depend on the value of AudioNode.channelCountMode:

It is ignored if the channelCountMode value is max.
It is used as a maximum value if the channelCountMode value is clamped-max.
It is used as the exact value if the channelCountMode value is explicit.

Value

An integer.

Examples

const audioCtx = new AudioContext();

const oscillator = audioCtx.createOscillator();
const gainNode = audioCtx.createGain();

oscillator.connect(gainNode);
gainNode.connect(audioCtx.destination);

oscillator.channelCount;
