Playback device self-calibration

A playback device comprising:

• one or more microphones;
• one or more speakers;
• at least one processor;
• a housing carrying the one or more microphones, the one or more speakers, and the at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by the at least one processor such that the playback device is configured to:
• play back first audio content via the one or more speakers;
• detect a first event;
• based on detection of the first event, perform a first calibration of the playback device, wherein the instructions that are executable by the at least one processor such that the playback device is configured to perform the first calibration comprise instructions that are executable by the at least one processor such that the playback device is configured to:
• (i) record, via the one or more microphones, first audio to capture playback of the first audio content by the playback device;
• (ii) determine, based on the recorded first audio, a first playback configuration that at least partially offsets acoustic characteristics of an environment surrounding the playback device;
• and
• (iii) apply the first playback configuration to the playback device.

A method to be performed by a playback device, the method comprising:

• playing back first audio content via one or more speakers, wherein the one or more speakers are carried in a housing of the playback device;
• detecting a first event;
• based on detecting the first event, performing a first calibration of the playback device, wherein performing the first calibration comprises:
• (i) recording, via one or more microphones, first audio to capture playback of the first audio content by the playback device, wherein the one or more microphones are carried in the housing of the playback device;
• (ii) determining, based on the recorded first audio, a first playback configuration that at least partially offsets acoustic characteristics of an environment surrounding the playback device;
• and
• (iii) applying the first playback configuration to the playback device.
