Abstract
In embodiments, apparatuses, methods and storage media are described that are associated with adjusting audio during content presentation. While content is being presented, one or more persons may be identified that are consuming the content. The persons may be identified via various techniques, such as voice recognition, facial recognition, and distance detection. When persons may be uniquely identified, user audio preferences may be retrieved and used to adjust audio. Audio may be adjusted when persons are not uniquely identified, such as based on a number of persons or their location relative to a content consumption device. Audio adjustment may include volume adjustment and/or adjustment of audio, such as through application of audio effects, as it being presented. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
