function start()
{
    const audio = new Audio();

    const
        audioContext = new AudioContext(),
        audioAnalyser = new AnalyserNode(audioContext);

    audioContext.createMediaElementSource(audio).connect(audioAnalyser); // this line

    audio.src = 'E:/Music/Fighter.mp3';

    audio.play();
};

start();

function start()
{
    const audio = new Audio();

    const
        audioContext = new AudioContext(),
        audioAnalyser = new AnalyserNode(audioContext);

    audioContext.createMediaElementSource(audio).connect(audioAnalyser); // this line

    audio.src = 'E:/Music/Fighter.mp3';

    audio.play();
};

start();

i just have this script inside the head of an html file (no other contents in the html) there is apparently no playback of the audio. but if i remove the marked line, the audio plays. and no errors in the console as well. any idea whats happening ? and a fix (without removing the marked line) ?

you're only piping it to the analyser, not to the speakers after this: audioContext.createMediaElementSource(audio).connect(audioAnalyser); try: audioAnalizer.connect(audioContext.destination)
