## AudioManager class

Manages audio instances in a world.

When to use: querying or bulk-controlling audio in a specific world. Do NOT use for: individual playback configuration; use `Audio` instances.

**Signature:**

```typescript
export default class AudioManager 
```

## Remarks

The AudioManager is created internally per `World` instance. Audio is loaded on first `Audio.play`<!-- -->; this manager tracks loaded instances. Pattern: call `AudioManager.unregisterEntityAttachedAudios` when despawning entities with positional audio.

The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the `AudioManager` class.

## Example


```typescript
// Stop all audio in the world
const audioManager = world.audioManager;
audioManager.getAllAudios().forEach(audio => audio.pause());
```
\*\*Category:\*\* Audio
