I've seem some code indicating that with javascript you can set the volume level of an HTML5 <audio> element using something like document.getElementById('player').volume-=0.1, but I can't find anything to indicate what the volume range is? 0-5? 0-10? 0-100? Does anyone know what the max volume of an audio tag is, and what the smallest increments it can be raised in are?

• javascript
• html
• html5-audio

• 4 I think the specifications may state that it goes from 0 to 10, but I'm pretty certain most implementations allow you to crank it up to 11 :-) – paxdiablo Commented Mar 16, 2012 at 3:41

1 Answer 1

From the w3c HTML5 specification

... 4. Let volume be the playback volume of the audio portions of the media element, in range 0.0 (silent) to 1.0 (loudest).
