The Audio defaultPlaybackRate property is used for setting or returning the default playback speed of the audio. The Audio defaultPlaybackRate property only changes the default playback speed, not the current playback speed. 

Syntax:

  • Return the defaultPlaybackRate property:
audioObject.defaultPlaybackRate
  • Set the defaultPlaybackRate property:
audioObject.defaultPlaybackRate = number

Property Values:

  • Number: It is used to specify the default playback speed of the video. The available options are:
    • 1.0 is the normal speed.
    • 0.5 is half speed.
    • 2.0 is double speed.
    • -1.0 is backward, normal speed.
    • -0.5 is backward, half-speed.

The below program illustrates the Audio defaultPlaybackRate Property: 

Example 1: Setting the audio to double speed by default.
