Abstract
Described are techniques for configuring a group of audio devices in communication with an access point to provide an audio output. Values indicative of the data throughput for communication between each audio device and the access point may be determined. The audio device having the greatest data throughput value may be designated as the master audio device. A value indicative of the airtime that would be used to distribute audio data using to the group of audio devices using the designated master audio device may be determined based on the data throughput values associated with each audio device. If the airtime value is less than a threshold airtime value, the audio data may be provided to the audio devices. If the airtime value exceeds the threshold airtime value, a notification may be generated indicating the relationship between the airtime value and the threshold airtime value.
