The sound component defines the entity as a source of sound or audio. The sound component is positional and is thus affected by the components-position.

Example

            
              <
                a-entity
                id=
                "river"
                geometry=
                "primitive: plane"
                material=
                "color: blue"
            
            
              position=
              "-10 0 0"
              sound=
              "src: url(river.mp3); autoplay: true">
              </
                a-entity>

Playing on an Event

The soundcomponent can also listen to an event before playing as well. For example, we might have a laughing sound play every time we click a monster:

            
              <
                a-entity
                cursor
                position=
                "0 0 -5">
              </
                a-entity>
            
            
              <
                a-entity
                id=
                "elmo"
                geometry=
                "primitive: box"
                material=
                "src: elmo.png"
            
            
              sound=
              "src: url(ticklelaugh.mp3); on: click">
              </
                a-entity>

Preloading a Sound Asset

For performance, we recommend to block the scene on the sound asset to preload and cache. We can do so through the asset management system:

            
              <
                a-scene>
            
              <
                a-assets>
            
              <
                audio
                id=
                "river"
                src=
                "river.mp3"
                preload=
                "auto">
              </
                audio>
            
              </
                a-assets>
            
            
              <
                a-entity
                sound=
                "src: #river">
              </
                a-entity>
            
              </
                a-scene>

Pause and Resume

To programmatically pause or resume a playing sound, we can tell the entity to pause or resume:

            
              varentity =
              document.querySelector(
              '[sound]');
            entity.components.sound.stopSound();

Or to pause only the sound:

            entity.components.sound.pauseSound();

And to play the sound:

            entity.components.sound.playSound();
