Using AudioRenderer for Audio Playback

The AudioRenderer is used to play Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) audio data. Unlike the AVPlayer, the AudioRenderer can perform data preprocessing before audio input. Therefore, the AudioRenderer is more suitable if you have extensive audio development experience and want to implement more flexible playback features.

Development Guidelines

The full rendering process involves creating an AudioRenderer instance, configuring audio rendering parameters, starting and stopping rendering, and releasing the instance. In this topic, you will learn how to use the AudioRenderer to render audio data. Before the development, you are advised to read AudioRenderer for the API reference.

The figure below shows the state changes of the AudioRenderer. After an AudioRenderer instance is created, different APIs can be called to switch the AudioRenderer to different states and trigger the required behavior. If an API is called when the AudioRenderer is not in the given state, the system may throw an exception or generate other undefined behavior. Therefore, you are advised to check the AudioRenderer state before triggering state transition.

To prevent the UI thread from being blocked, most AudioRenderer calls are asynchronous. Each API provides the callback and promise functions. The following examples use the callback functions.

AudioRenderer state transition

During application development, you are advised to use on(‘stateChange’) to subscribe to state changes of the AudioRenderer. This is because some operations can be performed only when the AudioRenderer is in a given state. If the application performs an operation when the AudioRenderer is not in the given state, the system may throw an exception or generate other undefined behavior.

prepared: The AudioRenderer enters this state by calling createAudioRenderer().
running: The AudioRenderer enters this state by calling start() when it is in the prepared, paused, or stopped state.
paused: The AudioRenderer enters this state by calling pause() when it is in the running state. When the audio playback is paused, it can call start() to resume the playback.
stopped: The AudioRenderer enters this state by calling stop() when it is in the paused or running state
released: The AudioRenderer enters this state by calling release() when it is in the prepared, paused, or stopped state. In this state, the AudioRenderer releases all occupied hardware and software resources and will not transit to any other state.

How to Develop

Set audio rendering parameters and create an AudioRenderer instance. For details about the parameters, see AudioRendererOptions.

   import audio from '@ohos.multimedia.audio';
   
   let audioStreamInfo: audio.AudioStreamInfo = {
     samplingRate: audio.AudioSamplingRate.SAMPLE_RATE_44100,
     channels: audio.AudioChannel.CHANNEL_1,
     sampleFormat: audio.AudioSampleFormat.SAMPLE_FORMAT_S16LE,
     encodingType: audio.AudioEncodingType.ENCODING_TYPE_RAW
   };
   
   let audioRendererInfo: audio.AudioRendererInfo = {
     content: audio.ContentType.CONTENT_TYPE_SPEECH,
     usage: audio.StreamUsage.STREAM_USAGE_VOICE_COMMUNICATION,
     rendererFlags: 0
   };
   
   let audioRendererOptions: audio.AudioRendererOptions = {
     streamInfo: audioStreamInfo,
     rendererInfo: audioRendererInfo
   };
   
   audio.createAudioRenderer(audioRendererOptions, (err, data) => {
     if (err) {
      console.error(`Invoke createAudioRenderer failed, code is ${err.code}, message is ${err.message}`);
      return;
     } else {
      console.info('Invoke createAudioRenderer succeeded.');
      let audioRenderer = data;
     }
   });

Call start() to switch the AudioRenderer to the running state and start rendering.

   audioRenderer.start((err: BusinessError) => {
     if (err) {
       console.error(`Renderer start failed, code is ${err.code}, message is ${err.message}`);
     } else {
       console.info('Renderer start success.');
     }
   });

Specify the address of the file to render. Open the file and call write() to continuously write audio data to the buffer for rendering and playing. To implement personalized playback, process the audio data before writing it.

   import fs from '@ohos.file.fs';
   
   let context = getContext(this);
   async function read() {
     const bufferSize: number = await audioRenderer.getBufferSize();
     let path = context.filesDir;
     
     const filePath = path + '/voice_call_data.wav';
     let file: fs.File = fs.openSync(filePath, fs.OpenMode.READ_ONLY);
     let buf = new ArrayBuffer(bufferSize);
     let readsize: number = await fs.read(file.fd, buf);
     let writeSize: number = await audioRenderer.write(buf);
   }

Call stop() to stop rendering.

   audioRenderer.stop((err: BusinessError) => {
     if (err) {
       console.error(`Renderer stop failed, code is ${err.code}, message is ${err.message}`);
     } else {
       console.info('Renderer stopped.');
     }
   });

Call release() to release the instance.

   audioRenderer.release((err: BusinessError) => {
     if (err) {
       console.error(`Renderer release failed, code is ${err.code}, message is ${err.message}`);
     } else {
       console.info('Renderer released.');
     } 
   });

Refer to the sample code below to render an audio file using AudioRenderer.

  encodingType: audio.AudioEncodingType.ENCODING_TYPE_RAW // Encoding format.
}
let audioRendererInfo: audio.AudioRendererInfo = {
  content: audio.ContentType.CONTENT_TYPE_MUSIC, // Media type.
  usage: audio.StreamUsage.STREAM_USAGE_MEDIA, // Audio stream usage type.
  rendererFlags: 0 // AudioRenderer flag.

When audio streams with the same or higher priority need to use the output device, the current audio playback will be interrupted. The application can respond to and handle the interruption event. For details about how to process concurrent audio playback, see Audio Playback Concurrency Policies.
