  • Publication number: 20240155291
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to computing device locations and computing devices having audio components thereon that change operational states. In some examples, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium can include instructions that when executed cause a processor of an electronic device to determine a default host computing device of a plurality of computing devices, request a location of a first computing device of the plurality of computing devices using a sensor of the default host computing device, and request a location of a second computing device of the plurality of computing devices using the sensor. The instructions when executed can cause the processor to determine a first audio loop potential associated with the first computing device and a second audio loop potential associated with the second computing device, assign the first computing device as an active client and assign the second computing device as an inactive client.
