Abstract:
In an example implementation, a method may involve, while a first zone and a second zone of a media playback system are playing back respective media, receiving data indicating the occurrence of a first trigger condition. The method may also involve, based on the received data, modifying respective volume limits of the first zone and the second zone, wherein modifying the volume limit causes first volume levels that exceed the second limit to be reduced to respective second volume levels that are at or below the second limit. The method may also involve receiving data indicating the occurrence of a second trigger condition. The method may further involve, based on the received data, modifying the respective volume limits of the first zone and the second zone from the second limit to the first limit.

Claim (Index 37):
A method comprising:\n while a first zone and a second zone of a media playback system are playing back respective media, receiving, via a control system, first data indicating an occurrence of a first trigger condition, wherein the first zone comprises a first playback device and the second zone comprises a second playback device, wherein the first and second playback devices are set to respective first and second volume levels while playing back the respective media, and wherein the first and second playback devices have corresponding first and second volume limits; based on receiving the first data, modifying the first volume limit by a first amount that corresponds to the first trigger condition, and modifying the second volume limit by a second amount that corresponds to the first trigger condition, wherein the second amount is different than the first amount, wherein modifying the first volume limit causes the first volume levels that exceed the modified first volume limit to be reduced to adjusted first volume levels at or below the modified first volume limit, and wherein modifying the second volume limit causes the second volume levels that exceed the modified second volume limit to be reduced to adjusted second volume levels at or below the modified second volume limit; and reverting the modified first and second volume limits to the respective first and second volume limits in response to an occurrence of a second trigger condition.
