# Audio view

The audio view displays a [timeline](/spine-keys#Timeline) and the waveform for [audio events](/spine-events#Audio-events) keyed in the animation.

See the audio [example projects](/spine-examples#Audio) for usage examples.

# Audio events

Each audio event key in the active animations is shown in a list with a unique color.

Selecting an audio event key in the list will set the timeline position to that key and dim the other waveforms.

If the corresponding [audio event](/spine-events#Audio-events) in the tree has its visibility dot cleared then it won't appear in the audio view and the audio won't be played.

# Volume

The volume slider controls the volume in the Spine editor for all audio events. The volume can be also muted.

# Audio device

This select box controls which audio device the Spine editor will use to play audio.
