Audio

Audio assets are sound files which can be played back using the Sound Component.

Any audio format that is supported by the web browser is supported by PlayCanvas. No processing is done to the audio file on import.

Common formats like MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, and WAV are supported across all modern browsers.

tip

MP3 is recommended as it offers good compression and universal compatibility.
