Wake-word detection suppression

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having stored therein instructions executable by one or more processors to cause a playback device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, via a network interface, data representing audio content for playback by the playback device;
• before the audio content is played back by the playback device, detecting, in the audio content, one or more wake words for one or more voice services;
• causing one or more networked microphone devices to disable its respective wake response to the detected one or more wake words during playback of the audio content by the playback device, wherein, when enabled, the wake response of a given networked microphone device to a particular wake word causes the given networked microphone device to listen, via a microphone, for a voice command following the particular wake word, wherein the one or more networked microphones devices are a subset of networked microphone devices in a household, and wherein causing the one or more networked microphone devices to disable their respective wake responses to the detected one or more wake words during playback of the audio content by the playback device comprises:
• determining that the one or more networked microphone devices are in audible vicinity of the audio content and
• in response to determining that the one or more networked microphones are in audible vicinity of the audio content, sending, via the network interface to the one or more networked microphone devices, instructions that cause the one or more networked microphone devices to disable their respective wake responses to the one or more wake words during playback of the audio content by the playback device;
• and
• playing back the audio content via one or more speakers.
