Game apparatus, game system, program, and volume adjusting method

A game system, comprising:

• a plurality of game apparatuses configured to execute a game application and transmit and receive information to and from one another, each of the plurality of game apparatuses including
• an obtainer configured to obtain audio data and a plurality of volume parameters being set respectively for a plurality of audio output devices to which the plurality of game apparatuses output the audio data,
• a determiner configured to determine an audio output target among the plurality of audio output devices,
• an adjuster configured to adjust a volume of the audio data obtained by the obtainer based on a volume parameter corresponding to the audio output target among the plurality of volume parameters, and output the adjusted audio data to the audio output target, and
• a transmitter configured to transmit the audio data and the plurality of volume parameters to another game apparatus of the plurality of game apparatuses,
• the obtainer in a main apparatus being one of the plurality of game apparatuses including the game application, the obtainer in a main apparatus being configured to obtain the audio data and the plurality of volume parameters from the game application, and
• the obtainer in a game apparatus of the plurality of game apparatuses other than the main apparatus being configured to obtain at least the audio data and the plurality of volume parameters transmitted by the transmitter in the main apparatus.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored therein instructions that cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining, from the game application, audio data and a plurality of volume parameters being set respectively for a plurality of audio output devices to which the game apparatus outputs the audio data;
• determining an audio output target among the plurality of audio output devices;
• adjusting volume of the obtained audio data based on a volume parameter corresponding to the audio output target among the plurality of volume parameters, and outputting the adjusted audio data to the audio output target;
• and
• transmitting the audio data and the plurality of volume parameters to the other game apparatus different from the game apparatus.

A volume adjusting method implementable with a game apparatus for transmitting and receiving information about a game application to and from another game apparatus by executing the game application, the method comprising:

• obtaining, from the game application, audio data and a plurality of volume parameters being set respectively for a plurality of audio output devices to which the game apparatus outputs the audio data;
• determining an audio output target among the plurality of audio output devices;
• adjusting volume of the obtained audio data based on a volume parameter corresponding to the audio output target among the plurality of volume parameters, and outputting the adjusted audio data to the audio output target;
• and
• transmitting the audio data and the plurality of volume parameters to the other game apparatus different from the game apparatus.
