  • Publication number: 20210194944
    Abstract: A method of synchronizing sub-systems each including a master device and at least one slave device connected to the master device via Bluetooth for playback by the at least one slave device of audio data. The method includes collecting respective internal latency data of the sub-systems, determining, based on the internal latency data of the plurality of sub-systems, respective delays to be applied by the sub-systems between reception of the audio data and playback of the audio data by the slave devices of the sub-system, and, by each sub-system, applying the corresponding delay for playback of the audio data.
