Overview: The PC is at the center of the convergence of audio entertainment and voice communication in homes and offices today. In addition to using PCs for surfing the Internet and as productivity tools, a growing number of people are using their PCs for entertainment and communication. To maximize the user experience for each audio application, consumers usually have desks full of audio peripherals for their PCs. Depending on the task, the user needs to change the audio setting in software and physically switch between different peripherals. For example, a pair of external PC speakers or an LCD monitor sound-bar is a good option for listening to music, but to make or pick up an IM voice call, the user often must switch to headphones and a microphone. Although different peripherals offer unique benefits for specific tasks, the abundance of choices creates huge confusion for consumers and a cluttered desktop of seldom-used devices. This paper explores how consumers can benefit from a new class of digital, all-in-one sound systems that combine the functionality of PC speakers, the convenience of a hands-free speakerphone, and the connectivity to other portable media players or smartphones.
