TECHNIQUES FOR SPEAKER AUDIO CONTROL IN A DEVICE

1 . A computer readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions to facilitate operation of an electronic device, the instructions to perform a process comprising:

configure a number of speakers of the electronic device;

enable a sensor to determine an orientation of the electronic device; and

configure a first speaker channel based on the number of speakers and the orientation of the electronic device.

2 . The computer readable medium of claim 1 further comprising:

configure a second speaker channel based on the number of speakers and the orientation of the electronic device.

3 . The computer readable medium of claim 2 wherein:

configure the first speaker channel to a first and a second speaker on a same side of the electronic device upon detecting four speakers of the electronic device; and

configure the second speaker channel to a third and a fourth speaker on a different side of the electronic device upon detecting four speakers of the electronic device.

4 . The computer readable medium of claim 2 wherein:

configure the first speaker channel to a first speaker upon detecting two speakers of the electronic device; and configure the second speaker channel to a second speaker on a diagonal from the first speaker of the electronic device upon detecting two speakers of the electronic device .

5 . A method for assigning a first speaker channel for an electronic device comprising:

detecting an orientation of the electronic device;

detecting a number of speakers of the electronic device; and

assigning a first speaker channel based at least in part on the orientation and number of speakers of the electronic device.

6 . The method of claim 5 further comprising:

assigning a second speaker channel based at least in part on the orientation and number of speakers of the electronic device.

7 . The method of claim 6 wherein:

assigning the first speaker channel to a first and a second speaker on a same side of the electronic device upon detecting four speakers of the electronic device; and

assigning the second speaker channel to a third and a fourth speaker on a different side of the electronic device upon detecting four speakers of the electronic device.

8 . The method of claim 6 wherein:

assigning the first speaker channel to a first speaker upon detecting two speakers of the electronic device; and

assigning the second speaker channel to a second speaker on a diagonal from the

first speaker of the electronic device upon detecting two speakers of the electronic device.

9 . The method of claim 5 wherein detecting the orientation of the electronic device is based on an accelerometer sensing a gravity direction to determine either a portrait mode or a landscape mode.
