Controlling wagering game system audio
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for electronically coordinating sound content presented via audio output devices of a wagering game machine, the method comprising:
- presenting, by configuration interface operating, classification options for the sound content;
receiving, through the configuration interface, user input assigning classifications to the sound content;
obtaining, by a sound controller from a first application operating on the wagering game machine, first content for presentation via one or more output devices of the wagering game machine;
obtaining, by the sound controller from a second application operating on the wagering game machine, second content for simultaneous presentation with the first content via the one or more output devices of the wagering game machine, wherein the first application and the second application are independent applications operating on the wagering game machine;
determining, by the sound controller based on the classifications assigned to the sound content, that a sound problem would occur if the first content were presented simultaneously with the second content via the one or more output devices; and
modifying, by the sound controller, one or more characteristics of one or more of the first content and the second content based on the determining that the sound problem would occur.

Abstract
A wagering game system and its operations are described herein. In embodiments, the operations can include determining that a sound problem would occur if first content were to be presented simultaneously with second content via one or more output devices of a wagering game machine. In some examples, the first content is provided by a first application and the second content is provided by a second application independent from the first application. In some embodiments, the operation can further include modifying one or more characteristics of one or more of the first content and the second content based on the determining that the sound problem would occur.

9. One or more non-transitory machine-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a set of one or more processors causes the set of one or more processors to perform operations for electronically coordinating sound content presented via audio output devices of a wagering game machine, the instructions comprising:
-
instructions to present, by configuration interface operating, classification options for the sound content; instructions to receive, via user input through the configuration interface, assignment of classifications to the sound content; instructions to present, by the wagering game machine, a first application and a second application, wherein the first application and the second application are independent applications; instructions to determine, by a sound controller based on the assignment of classifications to the sound content, that a sound problem would occur if a first sound effect for the first application were to be presented via one or more output devices of the wagering game machine simultaneously with a second sound effect for the second application; and instructions to modify, by the sound controller, one or more sound characteristics for one or more of the first sound effect and the second sound effect based on the determining. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and one or more memory devices configured to store instructions, which when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations for electronically coordinating sound content presented via audio output devices of a wagering game machine, the instructions to present, by configuration interface operating, classification options for the sound content; receive, via user input through the configuration interface, assignment of classifications to the sound content; determine, by a sound controller based on the assignment of classifications to the sound content, that a sound problem would occur if first content were to be presented simultaneously with second content via one or more output devices of a wagering game machine, wherein the first content is provided by a first application, wherein the second content is provided by a second application, and wherein the first application and the second application are independent applications, and modify, by the sound controller, one or more characteristics of one or more of the first content and the second content based on the determining that the sound problem would occur. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and one or more memory devices configured to store instructions which, when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to perform operations for electronically coordinating sound content presented via audio output devices of a wagering game machine, the instructions including instructions to determine that a sound problem would occur if first sound content were to be presented simultaneously with second sound content via one or more output devices of a wagering game machine, wherein the first sound content is provided by a first application, wherein the second sound content is provided by a second application, and wherein the first application and the second application are independent applications, modify one or more characteristics of one or more of the first sound content and the second sound content based on the determining that the sound problem would occur, and prevent a sound distortion of the first sound content and the second sound content based on the modifying the one or more characteristics of the one or more of the first sound content and the second sound content. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28)
