Abstract
Method and apparatus for physical detecting movement of a playback device which plays audio sound via a speaker enclosed in the playback device. While the speaker plays the audio sound, a determination is made whether the playback device is physically moving. In response to the playback device physically moving, the audio sound played by the speaker is modified, for example, by adjusting the volume or equalization of the audio sound, so as to reduce the physical movement of the playback device.
