How do I get audio data from microphone using AudioContext HTML5

I'm trying to get a stream of data from my microphone (ex. volume, pitch). For now, I've been using getUserMedia to access my microphone audio. But I couldn't find a way to extract the data from it.

My code :

$(function () {
  var audioContext = new AudioContext();
  var audioInput = null,
      realAudioInput = null,
      inputPoint = null,
      analyserNode = null;

  if (!navigator.getUserMedia)
          navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia ||
                        navigator.mozGetUserMedia || navigator.msGetUserMedia;
   
  if (navigator.getUserMedia){
      navigator.getUserMedia({audio:true}, success, function(e) {
      alert('Error capturing audio.');
      });
  } else alert('getUserMedia not supported in this browser.');

  function success(stream){
    inputPoint = audioContext.createGain();

    realAudioInput = audioContext.createMediaStreamSource(stream);
    audioInput = realAudioInput;
    audioInput.connect(inputPoint);

    analyserNode = audioContext.createAnalyser();
    analyserNode.fftSize = 2048;
    inputPoint.connect( analyserNode );

  }

  function live(){
    requestAnimationFrame(live);
    var freqByteData = new Uint8Array(analyserNode.frequencyBinCount);
    analyserNode.getByteFrequencyData(freqByteData);
    console.log(analyserNode.frequencyBinCount); 
  }
});

Here is a version of your code which does two things :

  • retrieves raw PCM audio buffer from the live microphone which is sent to console.log (to show javascript console hit ctrl-shift-i ), this is the PCM raw audio curve of streaming mic audio data in the time domain.
  • It also runs this same audio data into a FFT (fast Fourier transform) which is also sent to console.log, this is the frequency domain representation of the same Web Audio API event loop buffer

NOTE - either wear headphones OR turn down your speaker volume otherwise you will hear the squeal of audio feedback as the mic will pickup speaker audio a la Jimmy Hendrix !
