systeminformation

Audio

In this section you will learn how to get information about detected audio devices or interfaces. Results might differ on different platforms as not everything is available/detectable on each platform:

For function reference and examples we assume, that we imported systeminformation as follows:

    const si = require('systeminformation');

## Detected Audio Devices

All functions in this section return a promise or can be called with a callback function (parameter cb in the function reference)

Function | Result object | Linux | BSD | Mac | Win | Sun | Comments

si.audio(cb) | [{...}] | X |  | X | X |  | audio informatiom

| ##### Example
    const si = require('systeminformation');
    si.audio().then(data => console.log(data));
