Synchronized audio mixing
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a first playback device configured to play a first mixed audio signal comprising one or more components of a first audio stream and one or more components of a second audio stream, wherein the first audio stream is different from the second audio stream; and
a second playback device comprising;
one or more processors; and
tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the second playback device to perform functions comprising;
receiving, at the second playback device, the second audio stream and a third audio stream, wherein the third audio stream is different from the first audio stream and the second audio stream;
generating a second mixed audio signal comprising one or more of the components of the second audio stream and one or more components of the third audio stream; and
playing the second mixed audio signal, wherein the one or more components of the second audio stream of the first mixed audio signal played by the first playback device are played in synchrony with the one or more components of the second audio stream of the second mixed audio signal played by the second playback device.

Abstract
A first example playback device includes one or more processors and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first playback device to perform functions. The functions include generating a mixed audio signal comprising one or more components of a first audio stream and one or more components of a second audio stream; and playing the mixed audio signal, where the one or more components of the second audio stream of the mixed audio signal played by the first playback device are played in synchrony with a second playback device configured to play the second audio stream. An example non-transitory computer-readable medium and an example method, both related to the first example playback device, are also disclosed herein.

17. A system comprising:
-
a first playback device comprising; tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable first media storing instructions that, when executed by the first playback device, cause the first playback device to perform operations comprising; receiving, at the first playback device, a first audio stream and a second audio stream, wherein the first audio stream is different from the second audio stream; generating a first mixed audio signal comprising one or more components of the first audio stream and one or more components of the second audio stream; and playing the first mixed audio signal; and a second playback device comprising; tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable second media storing instructions that, when executed by the second playback device, cause the second playback device to perform operations comprising; receiving, at the second playback device, the second audio stream and a third audio stream, wherein the third audio stream is different from the first audio stream and the second audio stream; generating a second mixed audio signal comprising one or more of the components of the second audio stream and one or more components of the third audio stream; and playing the second mixed audio signal, wherein the one or more components of the second audio stream of the first mixed audio signal played by the first playback device are played in synchrony with the one or more components of the second audio stream of the second mixed audio signal played by the second playback device. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A method comprising:
-
playing, via a first playback device, a first mixed audio signal comprising one or more components of a first audio stream and one or more components of a second audio stream, wherein the first audio stream is different from the second audio stream; receiving, at a second playback device, the second audio stream and a third audio stream, wherein the third audio stream is different from the first audio stream and the second audio stream; generating, at the second playback device, a second mixed audio signal comprising one or more of the one or more components of the second audio stream and one or more components of the third audio stream; and playing, via the second playback device, the second mixed audio signal, wherein the one or more components of the second audio stream of the first mixed audio signal played by the first playback device are played in synchrony with the one or more components of the second audio stream played by the second playback device. - View Dependent Claims (20)
