Audio controller Property

Example

Find out if the audio has a media controller:

var x = document.getElementById("myAudio").controller;

Description

The controller property returns the current media controller of the audio.

By default the <audio> element does not have a media controller. If a media controller is specified, the controller property will return it as a MediaController object.

Tip: Use the controls property to set or return whether a audio should display standard video controls.
