Abstract

The present technology relates to an audio output controller, an audio output control method, and a program that can improve sound quality. An audio output controller includes multiple speaker units installed so as to face different directions, outputs measurement sound from at least one speaker unit of the multiple speaker units, and controls a gain of the speaker unit on the basis of a reverberation characteristic when the measurement sound is measured by a microphone in a predetermined position. Measurement sound output from a speaker unit installed in another audio output controller is measured by the microphone. Alternatively, measurement sound output from an installed speaker unit is measured by the microphone. The present technology can be applied to a wireless speakers, for example.
