A portable information handling system glass ceramic housing has a cut out section at an opening and a speaker chamber cover disposed in the opening to integrate a speaker at a bottom front side of the housing. A speaker coil couples to the housing section to align with a speaker magnet coupled to the speaker chamber cover to generate audible sound in a speaker chamber defined when the housing section couples over the opening. A polymer material is disposed between the housing section and housing, and the housing section is cut out with an upward curve, so that audible sound is directed upwards from the housing and towards an end user of the information handling system.

A waveguide housing for a speaker assembly. The speaker assembly includes first and second drivers coupled to the waveguide housing where the first driver generates a midrange sound signal and the second driver emits a high-frequency sound signal. The waveguide housing includes a first plurality of sound channels configured to receive the midrange sound signal from the first driver such that the midrange sound signal travels through the first plurality of sound channels and is emitted from the waveguide housing by a first plurality of openings in the waveguide housing. The waveguide housing also includes a second plurality of sound channels configured to receive the high-frequency sound signal from the second driver such that the high-frequency sound signal travels through the second plurality of sound channels and is emitted from the waveguide housing by a second plurality of openings in the waveguide housing.

An electronic device includes: an outer case, at least a portion of the outer case being configured to maintain a positional relationship between the electronic device and a wearer’s ear; a first sound generator and a second sound generator both provided inside the outer case; and a controller configured to control the first sound generator and the second sound generator to output sounds.

In at least one embodiment, a loudspeaker assembly is provided. The loudspeaker assembly includes a loudspeaker and a waveguide. The loudspeaker includes a diaphragm to transmit an audio output. The waveguide being asymmetrical and at least partially surrounding the diaphragm. The waveguide being configured to control a directivity of the audio output.

According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device may includes a housing, a speaker module disposed inside the housing, a microphone module disposed inside the housing, and a support member including a speaker hole, a speaker support section having the speaker module disposed on a first surface thereof, and a microphone support section having the microphone module disposed on a second surface thereof opposite to the first surface. The microphone module may be disposed to be spaced apart from the speaker hole.

Implementations of the subject technology provide for audio integration of portable electronic devices into enclosed environments. A portable electronic device may be carried, by a user, into an enclosed environment, such as into an enclosure of a building, a room, or other apparatus. One or more remote speakers may be disposed in the enclosed environment. The remote speaker(s) may be operated in cooperation with the portable electronic device to spatially coordinate audio output from the remote speaker(s) with video content displayed by the portable electronic device.

Implementations of the subject technology provide a access-feature-mounted external speaker. The access-feature-mounted external speaker may be disposed within an internal cavity in the door, and acoustically coupled to a slot in an edge of the door by an acoustic duct. In a closed position of the door, sound from the access-feature-mounted external speaker may be projected into a gap between the door and a structural interface of an enclosure, and redirected in part by the structural interface to a location external to the enclosure. In an open position of the door, sound from the speaker may be projected into an opening in the enclosure.

Implementations of the subject technology provide occupant-based audio for enclosed environments. For example, an apparatus having an enclosure and one or more speakers may determine a location and/or an identity of an occupant within an enclosed environment defined by the enclosure, and operate the one or more speakers to provide audio output to the location of the occupant. The apparatus may also operate the one or more speakers to reduce the audio output to one or more other locations within the enclosure, such as to one or more non-occupant locations and/or to one or more locations of one or more other occupants. The audio output may be occupant-specific audio output, such as a personalized notifications, in one or more implementations.

Implementations of the subject technology provide for sound stage reversal for enclosed environments. For example, various occupants within an enclosed environment and listening to the same spatially-oriented audio content may be facing in various different respective directions. Speakers within the enclosed environment may be operated to generate the spatially-oriented audio content for the various occupants, with various respective sound stage orientations corresponding to the various different respective directions in which the occupants face.

An earbud includes a housing that includes a driver assembly positioned within the housing forming a front volume in front of the driver and a back volume behind the driver. An acoustic insert is positioned behind the driver assembly and attached to an interior surface of the housing such that it forms a bass channel that is routed from the back volume to a vent in the housing.
