SMART AUDIO ROUTING MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A system for audio routing comprising:
- a computing device configured to stream content to an auxiliary device;
an audio routing component coupled to the primary device and configured to;
receive a plurality of audio signals associated with a plurality of applications implemented on the primary device;
obtain application state data for the plurality of applications;
determine a content output destination associated with an individual application based at least in part on the obtained application state data, the content output destination corresponding to at least one of the computing device or the auxiliary device;
identify an audio endpoint associated with the determined content output destination for the individual application; and
route an individual audio signal associated with the individual application to the identified audio endpoint.

Abstract
Examples described herein automatically route audio signals associated with applications to appropriate audio endpoints when a computing device is operating in a disjoint mode. Smart audio routing management of audio signals is based on content output destinations for applications associated with the audio signals. Smart audio routing management enables computing devices operating in a disjoint mode to receive audio signals relevant to application content rendered or displayed over multiple devices, and correctly route individual audio signals to audio endpoints that correspond to a location where associated application content is displayed.

12. A method for audio routing comprising:
-
receiving, by an audio routing component, an audio signal associated with an application executed by a core device; identifying a viewing location associated with the application, the viewing location corresponding to an auxiliary device; determining whether the auxiliary device is audio capable; responsive to a determination that the auxiliary device is audio capable, identifying an audio endpoint associated with the auxiliary device; and routing the audio signal to the identified audio endpoint of the auxiliary device based at least in part on state data obtained for the application. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
