Trying to detect when oscillator audio ends (javascript)


I am trying to detect when the oscillator audio has stopped playing. When I use onended,onend or event listener ended it only gets detected when I execute oscillator.stop()

Any one has any idea what I'm doing wrong or how this can be done? Thanks in advance.

The code of the oscillator is below:

let AudioContext = window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext;
let ctx = new AudioContext();
let dot = 1.2 / 15;

function morsecode_audio_play() {
    morsecode_textToSpeech_stop()
    document.querySelector('#play_audio_button_morse').innerHTML = '<button id="stop_audio_morse">⏹️</button>';
    document.querySelector('#stop_audio_morse').addEventListener('click', morsecode_audio_stop);

    oscillator = ctx.createOscillator();
    let t = ctx.currentTime;

    oscillator.type = "sine";
    oscillator.frequency.value = 600;
  
    let gainNode = ctx.createGain();
    gainNode.gain.setValueAtTime(0, t);
    
    let morsecode = inputMorse.value.split("");

    morsecode.forEach(function(letter) {
        switch(letter) {
            case ".":
                gainNode.gain.setValueAtTime(1, t);
                t += dot;
                gainNode.gain.setValueAtTime(0, t);
                t += dot;
                break;
            case "-":
                gainNode.gain.setValueAtTime(1, t);
                t += 3 * dot;
                gainNode.gain.setValueAtTime(0, t);
                t += dot;
                break;
            case " ":
                t += 7 * dot; 
                break;
        }  
    });

    oscillator.connect(gainNode);
    gainNode.connect(ctx.destination);
    oscillator.start();
    oscillatorStatus = true;

    oscillator.addEventListener('ended', () => {
        console.log('oscillator ended');
        morsecode_audio_load();
    })

    return false;
  }

Solution

  • I managed to solve it by using the duration time of the oscillator sound.

    The time is stored by the foreach in a variable t for time. I used that variable in a timer to detect the end.

       setTimeout(function(){
          morsecode_audio_stop();
          t = 0;
        }, t*1000);
