Abstract

The various implementations described herein include methods, devices, and systems for automatic audio equalization. In one aspect, a method is performed at a computing system that includes speaker(s), microphones, processors and memory. The computing system outputs audio user content and automatically equalizes the audio output of the computing system. The equalizing includes: (1) receiving the outputted audio content at each microphone of the plurality of microphones; (2) based on the received audio content, determining an acoustic transfer function for the room; (3) based on the determined acoustic transfer function, obtaining a frequency response for the room; and (4) adjusting one or more properties of the speakers based on the determined frequency response.
