SoundJS is a JavaScript library that provides a consistent API for loading and playing audio across different browsers and devices. It supports multiple playback backends via a plugin model, including WebAudio, HTML5 Audio, Cordova/PhoneGap, and a Flash fallback.

Use cases

• play sound effects in an html5 game across all browsers
• load and play audio files with a consistent javascript api
• play audio in a cordova/phonegap mobile app
• fallback audio playback when webaudio is unavailable
• preload audio files and play them once loaded
• control volume, pan, and position of playing sounds

When to choose

• you need cross-browser audio playback with a single simple API
• you are building an HTML5 game or interactive site with sound
• you need plugin-based fallbacks for older browsers or Cordova apps
• you already use the CreateJS suite and want integrated audio loading via PreloadJS

When to avoid

• you only target modern browsers and prefer the native Web Audio API directly
• you need advanced audio processing, synthesis, or DSP effects
• you need an actively developed library with recent updates and modern tooling
• you are building a native mobile or desktop app outside the browser
