First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing audio output, the method being implemented by one or more processors and comprising:
- triggering each of multiple audio output devices to generate an acoustic identification signal;
performing a comparison of the acoustic identification signal from each of the multiple audio output devices; and
controlling an output from one or more of the multiple audio output devices based on the comparison.

Abstract
Multiple audio output devices are individually triggered to generate an acoustic identification signal. A controller device can perform a comparison of the acoustic identification signal from each of the multiple audio output devices. The output from one or multiple audio output devices is controlled based on the comparison.
