In one embodiment, a healing engine included in an audio system enables the audio system to perform self-repair operations. Upon detecting that an audio device included in the audio system has failed, the healing engine executes repair operations. First, the healing engine identifies any new audio devices added to the audio system after the failed audio device failed. The healing engine then selects one of the new audio devices as a replacement for the failed audio device. Finally, the healing engine configures the selected audio device to implement a system identity that previously identified the failed audio device with respect to the audio system. In this fashion, the healing engine replaces the failed audio device with the selected audio device. By automating the repair process, the healing engine reduces the time and effort required to restore the audio system to a fully operational state compared to conventional, manually-based techniques.
