The various implementations described herein include methods, devices, and systems for automatic audio equalization. In one aspect, a method is performed at an audio device having one or more processors, memory, and a plurality of device interface elements, including one or more speakers and a plurality of microphones. The method includes: (1) detecting a change in orientation of the audio device from a first orientation to a second orientation; and (2) in response to detecting the change in orientation, configuring operation of two or more of the plurality of device interface elements.

Orientation-based device interface

The apparatus described is a multi-core processoradapted to provide digital to analog conversion. At least oneof the coresis used to make the conversion, another group of corescan provide the source of a digital stream of information such as audio visual signals. The stream is conveyed to processoroptionally by a transfer processor. The method of the invention divides each word of an incoming digital stream of information into a most significant and least significant portions. The most and least significant portions control the production of electrical charges which are added together to produce an analog electrical signal proportional to the values of the words in the digital stream.
