Audiovisual synchronization for peripheral audio devices

Abstract

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for synchronizing playback of audiovisual media. An example process includes receiving, via at least one microphone, a first signal that is outputted from at least one external speaker that is coupled to a display device; determining, based on the first signal, a latency associated with the at least one external speaker, wherein the latency corresponds to a difference between a transmission time of the first signal by the display device to the at least one external speaker and an output time of the first signal by the at least one external speaker; and providing the latency to the display device, wherein the display device is configured to adjust at least one of a video playback timing and an audio playback timing of an audiovisual media content item based on the latency.
