Systems and methods for casting to multiple wireless speakers

1. A method for casting to multiple wireless speakers, the method comprising:

receiving at a casting device a request from a user device to cast audio signals to multiple wireless speakers in an environment, wherein the audio signals include multiple channels;

sending an inquiry request;

receiving responses to the inquiry request from the multiple wireless speakers;

connecting to a plurality of speakers from the multiple wireless speakers;

sending one or more test signals to each of the plurality of speakers;

receiving information from a microphone for each of the one or more test signals output from each of the plurality of speakers, wherein the microphone is a component of a remote control associated with the casting device;

selecting one or more of the multiple channels to send to each of the plurality of speakers based on the received information;

sending the corresponding selected one or more of the multiple channels to each of the plurality of speakers; and

sending one or more signals to each of the plurality of speakers to output a location notification for where each speaker is recommended to be located within the environment.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the casting device comprises a set-top-box.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received information for each of the plurality of speakers includes a frequency range.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received information for each of the plurality of speakers includes a time delay between sending a test signal and receiving information from the microphone.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a location recommendation for each speaker based on the received information.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the audio signals are received from the user device.

7. A system for casting to multiple wireless speakers, the system comprising:

a remote control including a microphone; and

a casting device, comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memory devices having stored thereon instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

receive a request from a user device to cast audio signals to multiple wireless speakers in an environment, wherein the audio signals include multiple channels;

send an inquiry request;

receive responses to the inquiry request from the multiple wireless speakers;

connect to a plurality of speakers from the multiple wireless speakers;

send one or more test signals to each of the plurality of speakers;

receive information from the microphone for each of the one or more test signals output from each of the plurality of speakers;

select one or more of the multiple channels to send to each of the plurality of speakers based on the received information;

send the corresponding selected one or more of the multiple channels to each of the plurality of speakers; and

send one or more signals to each of the plurality of speakers to output a location notification for where each speaker is recommended to be located within the environment.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the casting device comprises a set-top-box.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the received information for each of the plurality of speakers includes a frequency range.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the received information for each of the plurality of speakers includes a time delay between sending a test signal and receiving information from the microphone.

11. The system of claim 7 , further comprising providing a location recommendation for each speaker based on the received information.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the audio signals are received from the user device.

13. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving at a casting device a request from a user device to cast audio signals to multiple wireless speakers in an environment, wherein the audio signals include multiple channels;

sending an inquiry request;

receiving responses to the inquiry request from the multiple wireless speakers;

connecting to a plurality of speakers from the multiple wireless speakers;

sending one or more test signals to each of the plurality of speakers;

receiving information from a microphone for each of the one or more test signals output from each of the plurality of speakers, wherein the microphone is a component of a remote control associated with the casting device;

selecting one or more of the multiple channels to send to each of the plurality of speakers based on the received information;

sending the corresponding selected one or more of the multiple channels to each of the plurality of speakers, and

sending one or more signals to each of the plurality of speakers to output a location notification for where each speaker is recommended to be located within the environment.

14. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein the casting device comprises a set-top-box.

15. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein the received information for each of the plurality of speakers includes a frequency range.

16. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein the received information for each of the plurality of speakers includes a time delay between sending a test signal and receiving information from the microphone.

17. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , further comprising providing a location recommendation for each speaker based on the received information.

18. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein the audio signals are received from the user device.
