Abstract

Methods, systems, and media for controlling audio output are provided. In some implementations, a method for controlling audio output is provided, the method comprising: receiving, by a computing device, audio content to be presented; determining that an output port of the computing device is connected to a corresponding connector; providing the audio content at the output port; recording a first portion of audio using a microphone; determining that the audio content is present in the first portion of audio; continuing to provide the audio content at the output port; recording a second portion of audio using the microphone; determining that the audio content is not present in the second portion of audio; and presenting the audio content using a speaker of the computing device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for controlling audio output, the method comprising:
 determining, using an audio input device of a computing device to captures an audio clip portion being played back by a connected audio device, whether audio content that has been transmitted to the connected audio device is being played back by the connected audio device; and   inhibiting, using a hardware processor of the computing device, the audio content from being transmitted to the connected audio device and automatically switching the audio content to be presented using an audio output device of the computing device based on the determination that the audio content that has been transmitted to the connected audio device is not being played back by the connected audio device.
