  • Systems and methods for audio playback
    Patent number: 10809969
    Abstract: Implementations of a method of synchronizing audio playback may include, using a correction block and a second sample counter, comparing a number of playback samples in a slave channel stream with a number of master playback samples in a master channel stream received from a wireless telecommunication channel from a first audio speaker device. The method may include adjusting an input transfer rate of playback samples into an ASRC if the number of playback samples in the slave channel stream and the number of master playback samples is not the same, keeping an output transfer rate of playback samples of the slave channel stream out of the ASRC to a slave DAC at a constant value, and, through adjusting the input transfer rate into the ASRC, synchronizing the playback of audio data included in the slave channels stream with the playback of audio data included in the master channel stream.
