An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a speaker, a memory, and a processor operatively connected with the display, the speaker, and the memory. The memory stores one or more instructions, when executed, causing the processor to pause playback of first content depending on identifying occurrence of an event associated with second content while playing the first content and execute an operation corresponding to the event, determine whether to resume playing the first content based on a duration of the event, and resume playing the first content depending on identifying end of the event based on determining to resume playing the first content.

Electronic apparatus and operating method of electronic apparatus

An electronic device comprises an audio interface, a communication module, a processor, and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory can store instructions configured so that, during the execution thereof, the processor: receives a request for connection to a second audio output device while connected to first audio output device through the audio interface and/or the communication module; identifies the types of the first audio output device and the second audio output device to automatically select one simultaneous output method suitable for the first audio output device and the second audio output device from among various simultaneous output methods, if the device types are the same as each other, and thus configures an output path corresponding to the selected simultaneous output method; and repeats the operation of reconfiguring the output path whenever a third audio output device is connected through the audio interface and/or the communication module.

Electronic device, and audio output mode configuration method according to connection to plurality of audio output devices

According to an example embodiment, an electronic device may include: a communicator comprising communication circuitry configured to establish communication with a pair of earphones, and a processor configured to: determine whether each of the earphones is being worn and initiate recording of a sound input through a microphone of an earphone determined to be in a worn state among the earphones.

Method and device for recording sound of electronic device using earphones

In various embodiments, an electronic device comprises: a wireless communication module; a memory storing a priority of a plurality of external electronic devices; an output module; and a processor operatively connected to the wireless communication module, the memory, and the output module, wherein the processor is configured to: control the wireless communication module to establish a first wireless communication channel with a first external electronic device; control the wireless communication module to establish a second wireless communication channel with a second external electronic device; control the output module to output first audio data received through the first wireless communication channel; identify a priority of the first external electronic device and a priority of the second external electronic device when receiving second audio data through the second wireless communication channel while outputting the first audio data; identify a type of the first audio data and a type of the second audio data; adjust an output parameter of the first audio data and an output parameter of the second audio data based on the priority of the first external electronic device, the priority of the second external electronic device, the type of the first audio data, and the type of the second audio data; and output the first audio data using the adjusted output parameter of the first audio data and the second audio data using the adjusted output parameter of the second audio data through the output module. Various other embodiments are possible.

Electronic device and method for controlling audio output thereof

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, at least one speaker, at least one memory configured to store instructions, and at least one processor operatively connected to the display, the at least one speaker, and the at least one memory, wherein, when executing the instructions, the at least one processor is configured to display a plurality of screens based on applications which are distinct from one another, within sub regions which are distinct from one another within a display region of the display, in a state where the plurality of screens are displayed, output a first audio signal provided from a first application from among the applications at a first volume through the at least one speaker, while outputting the first audio signal, identify a user input for outputting a second audio signal related to a second application within a screen provided from the second application from among the plurality of screens, in response to the user input being identified, reduce the first volume of the first audio signal being outputted through the at least one speaker, and output the second audio signal provided from the second application at a second volume which is higher than the reduced first volume through the at least one speaker.
