Abstract
A method is provided for providing speaker management. The method may include initializing an information handling system (IHS) and initializing an external speaker coupled to the IHS. The external speaker may have a device identifier (ID) associated with it. Therefore, the method may also include receiving the device ID and automatically loading an audio driver corresponding to the device ID. Using speaker compensation parameters associated with the audio driver, the method may include filtering audio data sent to the external speaker.
Claims20
A method for providing speaker management, the method comprising:
- initializing an information handling system (IHS) and an external speaker coupled to the IHS;
- receiving a device identifier (ID) associated with the external speaker;
- automatically loading an audio driver corresponding to the device ID;
- and
- filtering audio data sent to the external speaker by applying a speaker compensation parameter associated with the audio driver.
An information handling system (IHS) comprising:
- an external speaker coupled to the IHS;
- and
- memory operable to store an operating system (OS), wherein the OS is operable to receive a device identifier (ID) associated with the external speaker and automatically load an audio driver for the external speaker based on the device ID.
A method for managing an external speaker coupled to an information handling system (IHS), the method comprising:
- initializing the IHS and an external speaker, the external speaker coupled to the IHS via a direct connection;
- identifying the external speaker to the IHS;
- loading a custom audio driver automatically for the external speaker upon identifying the external speaker, wherein the custom audio driver comprises a speaker compensation parameter specific to the external speaker;
- and
- filtering audio data sent to the external speaker by applying the speaker compensation parameter to the audio data.
