See full text

A computing device for adjusting audio output in a listening environment having a user interface to select a source, from a plurality of sources, to be played at a sound zone in a plurality of sound zones; A processor receives user input source selections to determine combined sources for the plurality of sound zones and adjust audio parameters for the sound zones having combined sources based on combined sources and individual inputs for audio settings from each sound zone. The processor applies adjusted audio parameters to a sound zone algorithm for the sound zones having combined sources, and outputs audio based on the adjusted sound zone algorithm. A designated occupant may select the sound zones to which the adjusted sound zone algorithm is to be applied.
