Abstract
A processor in an electronic device may coordinate an interface clock in the electronic device with a second interface clock in a second electronic device based on time-coordination information received in packets from the second electronic device. Then, the processor captures timing information associated with the interface clock provided by an interface clock circuit to increase a resolution of a system clock. Moreover, the processor may track, using the timing information, relative drift as a function of time between the system clock and the interface clock, and may determine, based on the relative drift, an estimated time offset between the interface clock and the system clock at the future time. Next, the processor modifies a future time when the electronic device is to perform the playback operation based on the estimated time offset to determine a corrected future time, and may perform the playback operation at the corrected future time.
