Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to systems, apparatuses, and methods for wirelessly delivering multi-channel audio over a packet based network with tight synchronization, high fidelity, and/or low delay as described above. The systems can include a source device that provides multi-channel audio to a distributor device, which wirelessly distributes the multi-channel audio over the packet based network to audio rendering devices, referred to as “sink” devices. The distributor device and the sink devices each include a playback clock that is used to read audio samples of the multi-channel audio from a local memory and drive a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) coupled to a speaker to render the audio samples.

Claim (Index 17):
A method comprising:\n providing a playback timer based on a playback clock used to playback a first portion of audio samples; placing a sample of the playback timer, and a second portion of the audio samples into a packet for transmission to a plurality of sink devices, wherein the second portion of the audio samples placed into the packet for transmission to the plurality of sink devices does not include temporally contiguous audio samples that belong to a same audio channel; and transmitting the packet to the plurality of sink devices, where one of the plurality of sink devices is designated to acknowledge receipt of the packet.
