A temporal cue based confidence may be determined for at least a portion of the plurality of microphone zones. A power cue based confidence may be determined for at least a portion of the plurality of microphone zones. A microphone zone of the plurality of microphone zones from which to use an output signal of the speaker may be identified based upon, at least in part, a combination of the temporal cue based confidence and the power cue based confidence.
