Abstract
Embodiments described herein involve identifying a primary zone in a network media system for playback of primary audio content, where audio content comprises the primary audio content and auxiliary audio content, and determining respective audio responses of each of one or more auxiliary zones for coordinated playback of the auxiliary audio content with the primary zone. At least one auxiliary zone of the one or more auxiliary zones for coordinated playback of auxiliary audio content may be identified based on the respective audio responses of each of the one or more auxiliary zones. The primary zone can play back the primary audio content, and the at least one auxiliary zone can coordinate playback of the auxiliary audio content with the primary audio content played by the primary zone.
