Abstract

In at least one embodiment, a system for synchronizing an audio stream is provided. The system includes a first loudspeaker and an audio controller. The first loudspeaker plays back a first audio output signal including first signature information. The audio controller provides a first audio input signal and superimpose the first signature information on the first audio input signal. The audio controller receives the first audio output signal including the first audio packets and the first signature information and to detect the first signature information. The audio controller determines a delay attributed to a transmission of the first audio input signal and the first audio output signal based on the first signature information and synchronizes the transmission of a second audio input signal from the audio controller to the first loudspeaker with the playback of another audio output signal from a second loudspeaker based at least on the delay.
