Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for controlling audio signals associated with a plurality of conferences, comprising: displaying, by a processing device, a user interface that depicts a first defined area and a second defined area, wherein the first defined area is associated with a first conference and the second defined area is associated with a second conference; displaying a first plurality of participant identifiers in association with the first defined area, wherein each of the first plurality of participant identifiers corresponds to a different participant of a plurality of participants in the first conference; determining a plurality of first aural position identifiers based on a position of a corresponding participant identifier with respect to a reference position, wherein each first aural position identifier corresponds to a different one of the first plurality of participant identifiers, and wherein each first aural position identifier is different from the others; determining at least one second aural position identifier associated with the second defined area, wherein the at least one second aural position identifier is different from each of the plurality of first aural position identifiers; and providing, concurrently to an audio output port, an audio signal of at least one of the plurality of participants in the first conference at an aural position based on the first aural position identifier corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of participants in the first conference, and an audio signal of at least one participant in the second conference at an aural position based on the at least one second aural position identifier.
