Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to enhance the experience of a user of a computing device, such as a computing device having a plurality of speakers. In the context of a method, content is caused to be presented upon the display. The content is associated with a representation of an audio source. The method also includes determining a location of the representation of the audio source relative to the display. The method further includes preferentially directing audio signals generated by the audio source to one or more of a plurality of speakers that have different respective positions relative to the display. In this regard, the method may preferentially direct the audio signals by preferentially directing audio signals based upon the location of the representation of the audio source relative to the display and also based upon the respective positions of the speakers relative to the display.
