Abstract
Arrangements described herein can control audio within a vehicle by stopping sound from two or more audio sources based on one quiet-all input. Systems can output sound via one or more speakers in response to audio signals from two or more audio sources. A quiet-all input can be received via a user interface, where the quiet-all input is a single input to stop sound from the two or more audio sources. Responsive to receiving the quiet-all input, all sound output through the one or more speakers from the two or more audio sources can be stopped or reduced to a predetermined volume.
