Abstract

A portable information handling system speaker mount has standardized contacts and mounting points to accept plural speaker types with different speaker characteristics to generate audible sounds driven by an audio subsystem with audio driver settings, such as speaker-type gains. When a speaker is inserted, the audio subsystem communicates a coil characterization signal to the speaker and then analyzes the coil response to identify the type of the speaker, such as by determining the resistance of the coil to a direct current signal or the impedance of the coil from a frequency-based signal. In one example embodiment, the coil characterization signal generates audible noise from the speaker that is detected by a microphone and analyzed to determine the speaker type identity.
