Abstract

Methods and devices for dynamically selecting an audio resource may include receiving a request to use at least one microphone on the computer device. The methods and devices may include determining, by the operating system, a dynamic orientation of a first device portion and a second device portion of the computer device based on sensor information. The methods and devices may include selecting at least one microphone for use based on the physical location information of the at least one microphone and the dynamic orientation of the first device portion and the second device portion, wherein the physical location information corresponds to a static orientation of the at least one microphone on the computer device.
