Abstract:
Examples described herein involve identifying one or more error conditions during calibration of one or more playback devices in a playback environment. A microphone of a network device may detect and sample an audio signal while the one or more playback devices in the playback environment plays a calibration tone. A processor of the network device may then receive, from the microphone, a stream of audio data. The audio data may include an audio signal component and a background noise component. As a subset of the audio data is received, the processor may identify based on the audio data, the one or more error conditions. The processor may then cause a graphical display to display a graphical representation associated with the identified error condition.

Claim (Index 8):
A method to be performed by a mobile device, the method comprising:\n detecting, via one or more microphones of the mobile device, audio signals emitted from one or more playback devices as part of a calibration process of one or more playback devices, wherein the calibration process comprises moving the mobile device within a listening environment while the one or more playback devices emit the audio signals; after the one or more playback devices emit the audio signals as part of the calibration process of the one or more playback devices, determining whether variation within the detected audio signals indicates that sufficient movement of the mobile device occurred during the calibration process; when the variation within the detected audio signals indicates that insufficient movement of the mobile device occurred during the calibration process, displaying, via a controller interface on a graphical display of the mobile device, a prompt to move the mobile device more while the one or more playback devices emit one or more additional audio signals as part of the calibration process of the one or more playback devices; and when the variation within the detected audio signals indicates that sufficient movement of the mobile device occurred during the calibration process, calibrating the one or more playback devices with a calibration based on the detected audio signals emitted from the one or more playback devices.
