<p>{{ domxref("AudioContext") }} 接口的<code>suspend()</code> 方法暂停音频上下文对象中的进度，并暂时剥离进程对音频设备硬件的访问权限, 减少CPU和电池的使用。 当程序在一段时间内不会使用音频上下文对象时，这个方法对减少硬件资源占用是非常有用的。</p>

<p>若对{{domxref("OfflineAudioContext")}} 调用此方法，将会抛出 <code>INVALID_STATE_ERR</code> 错误。</p>

<pre class="brush: js notranslate">var audioCtx = new AudioContext();
audioCtx.suspend().then(function() { ... });
</pre>

<h3 id="Returns">Returns</h3>

<p>A {{jsxref("Promise")}} that resolves with void. The promise is rejected if the context has already been closed.</p>

<h2 id="Example">Example</h2>

<p>The following snippet is taken from our <a href="https://github.com/mdn/audiocontext-states/settings">AudioContext states demo</a> (<a href="http://mdn.github.io/audiocontext-states/">see it running live</a>.) When the suspend/resume button is clicked, the {{domxref("AudioContext.state")}} is queried — if it is <code>running</code>, <code>suspend()</code> is called; if it is <code>suspended</code>, {{domxref("resume")}} is called. In each case, the text label of the button is updated as appropriate once the promise resolves.</p>

<pre class="brush: js notranslate">susresBtn.onclick = function() {
  if(audioCtx.state === 'running') {
    audioCtx.suspend().then(function() {
      susresBtn.textContent = 'Resume context';
    });
  } else if(audioCtx.state === 'suspended') {
    audioCtx.resume().then(function() {
      susresBtn.textContent = 'Suspend context';
    });
  }
}
