Abstract
Various aspects of a system and method for speaker position identification with respect to a user based on timing information for enhanced sound adjustment in a multi-channel speaker system are disclosed herein. The system includes an electronic device that receives a first timing signal from a control device of the speaker system. The first timing signal indicates a first time instant at which an audio signal is communicated, by the control device, to a first speaker of a plurality of speakers of the speaker system. An output of the audio signal is recorded from the first speaker at a second time instant by the electronic device. An absolute distance between the first speaker and the electronic device associated with a user, is determined based on the first and second time instant. A first instruction to calibrate at least the first speaker is generated based on the determined absolute distance.
