(Web Audio API) Oscillator node error: cannot call start more than once

Question

When I start my oscillator, stop it, and then start it again; I get the following error:

Uncaught InvalidStateError: Failed to execute \'start\' on \'Oscillat         


        

Answer 1

The best solution I've found so far is to keep the SAME audioContext while recreating the oscillator every time you need to use it.

FYI You can only create 6 audioContext objects per browser page lifespan (or at least per my hardware):

Uncaught NotSupportedError: Failed to construct 'AudioContext': The number of hardware contexts provided (6) is greater than or equal to the maximum bound (6).
