Detect if audio is playing in browser Javascript

Question

Is there a global way to detect when audio is playing or starts playing in the browser.

something like along the idea of if(window.mediaPlaying()){...

Answer 1

Verily, I search a lot and read all MDN docs about Web Audio API but don't find any global flag on window that shows audio playing but I have a tricky way that shows ANY audio playing, no matter an iframe or video but about Web Audio API I'm not sure, the tricky way is:

const allAudio = Array.from( document.querySelectorAll('audio') );
const allVideo = Array.from( document.querySelectorAll('video') );
const isPlaying = [...allAudio, ...allVideo].some(item => !item.paused);

Now, buy the isPlaying flag we can detect playing in the browser.
