Abstract: A system includes a web application server, a plurality of hub servers, and a first audio streaming device. The first audio streaming device is configured to ping each hub server of the plurality of hub servers to determine a respective latency between the first audio streaming device and each hub server to provide a first plurality of latencies. The first audio streaming device is configured to transmit the first plurality of latencies to the web application server. The web application server is configured to store the first plurality of latencies in a latency table comprising a respective second plurality of latencies for a second audio streaming device. The web application server is configured to determine a compatibility for audio streaming between the first audio streaming device and the second audio streaming device based on the latency table.

Abstract: An audio streaming device includes a network interface, a memory storing instructions, and a processor communicatively coupled to the network interface and the memory. The processor is configured to execute the instructions to receive audio data packets from a further audio streaming device, where each audio data packet includes an indicator of the position of the audio data packet within an audio stream. The processor is configured to execute the instructions to buffer the received audio data packets; reconstruct the audio stream based on the indicator of each buffered audio data packet; prior to reconstructing the audio stream, identify whether there is a missing audio data packet within the audio stream based on the indicator of each buffered audio data packet; and in response to identifying a missing audio data packet, conceal the missing audio data packet to mitigate artifacts in the reconstructed audio stream.
