Abstract
Disclosed is a method that includes receiving an audio video stream, decoding the audio video stream to yield decoded video and decoded audio, transmitting the decoded video on a video cable to a display, transmitting a signal, such as, for example, a signal on an audio channel of the video cable, identifying an impulse response based on a received signal responsive to the transmitting of the signal, identifying a delay amount based on the impulse response and transmitting the decoded audio to a loudspeaker according to the delay amount. The cable can include an HDMI cable with the audio return channel (ARC) capability.
