Processing spoken commands to control distributed audio outputs

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• detecting, by an input device in a first environment, input audio corresponding to an utterance;
• determining an output device causing first audio to be output in the first environment;
• and
• based at least in part on detecting the input audio, sending, to a networking component associated with the output device, an override command to reduce a volume of the first audio.

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• detect, by an input device in a first environment, input audio corresponding to an utterance;
• determine an output device causing first audio to be output in the first environment;
• and
• based at least in part on detection of the input audio, send, to a networking component associated with the output device, an override command to reduce a volume of the first audio.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• detecting, by an input device in a first environment, input audio including a wakeword;
• determining an output device causing first audio to be output in the first environment;
• and
• based at least in part on detecting the input audio including the wakeword, sending, to a networking component associated with the output device, an override command to reduce a volume of the first audio.
