  • Patent number: 10303431
    Abstract: Example systems, apparatus, and methods receive audio information including a plurality of frames from a source device, wherein each frame of the plurality of frames includes one or more audio samples and a time stamp indicating when to play the one or more audio samples of the respective frame. In an example, the time stamp is updated for each of the plurality of frames using a time differential value determined between clock information received from the source device and clock information associated with the device. The updated time stamp is stored for each of the plurality of frames, and the audio information is output based on the plurality of frames and associated updated time stamps. A number of samples per frame to be output is adjusted based on a comparison between the updated time stamp for the frame and a predicted time value for play back of the frame.

  • Patent number: 10129839
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and devices are described for synchronizing timing of wireless streaming transmissions to multiple sink devices. A source device may identify timing information associated with a common timing source, e.g., a media timing source at Multimedia layer or a Wi-Fi timing source, and send the timing information to the sink devices. The sink devices may receive the timing information and determine a composite timing delay, e.g., a wireless transmission link delay, an internal interface link delay, or combinations thereof. The source device may stream the content to the sink devices which may use a locally adjusted timing signal to synchronize the presentation of the content.
