ViewsHow do I get audio from a web page that is playing?
A website is playing audio. There are no <audio> tags evident in Inspect Element tab from DevTools. How do I get an audio file to download from the webpage (and how are they playing the audio)?
After a bit of research, it seems the only way to play audio is through the audio (<audio></audio>) element, which has the DOM interface, HTMLAudioElement (new Audio()) constructor.
So, I'm not entirely sure how they're playing audio without the audio element or how to find the audio being played from new Audio().
A new Audio was called in only one file but seemed to only be used in a condition:

After some digging, there seem to be three methods of playing audio:

And to get the audio from the webpage, the best method is to use the Network tab which basically logs everything that happens on the webpage, as shown here:
If you right-click on the file names (with their extensions) that are logged directly below the "played", you'll see an option in the context menu labeled "Open in new tab". And that's it!
