gaearon/web-audio-hooks-issue — explained in plain English
Analysis updated 2026-07-17 · repo last pushed 2020-04-27
Reproduce and study the conflict between React StrictMode and Web Audio initialization.
Diagnose why audio plays twice, doesn't play, or crashes in a React app during development.
Use as a starting point for testing workarounds to StrictMode double-invocation.
Reference the setup when building your own React app with audio features.

README has only default Create React App instructions, the real issue is in the code.
This is a minimal debugging project created to investigate a specific technical issue with React's StrictMode feature and how it interacts with web audio functionality. The README doesn't explain the actual problem being studied, it just contains the standard setup instructions for a Create React App project, so the real context lives in the code itself rather than the documentation. At a high level, the project is a React application set up to reproduce and test a particular behavior. React StrictMode is a development tool that intentionally runs certain parts of your code twice to catch bugs, which can cause unexpected behavior with audio APIs that aren't designed to be initialized multiple times. This repository exists to isolate and debug that exact conflict. The value here is as a reference or test case for React developers who are building applications that play sound or music. If you're writing a React app with audio features and you notice strange behavior during development, like audio playing twice, not playing at all, or crashing unexpectedly, this repo could help you understand whether the issue stems from how React's safety checks interact with your audio setup. It's the kind of project someone would fork, study, or reference when troubleshooting their own audio+React integration. The project doesn't ship a finished feature or library, it's more of a playground for understanding a specific compatibility issue. Developers interested in this problem would clone it locally, run npm start to see the issue in action, and use it as a foundation for testing solutions or understanding how to work around the conflict.
A minimal Create React App reproduction case for a bug where React StrictMode double-invocation conflicts with Web Audio API playback.
