Abstract: A method that includes playing back audio content through a speaker of the headset at a volume setting; receiving a microphone signal that includes noise of an acoustic environment captured by a microphone of the headset; detecting a change to an environmental noise level of the noise based on the microphone signal; retrieving, from memory of the headset, an adapted volume setting to the changed environmental noise level, wherein the adapted volume setting is generated at least in part based on user context or user behavior; and adjusting playback of the audio content by transitioning the volume setting to the adapted volume setting.

Abstract: A wearable device, while a respective session is active in a respective application, detects a first signal indicating that the wearable device in no longer being worn. In response, the wearable device causes the respective session of the respective application to become inactive. While the respective application is inactive, the wearable device detects a second signal indicating that the wearable device is being put on, and in response to detecting the second signal, in accordance with a determination that respective criteria are met, the wearable device resumes the respective session of the respective application. Further, in accordance with a determination that respective criteria are not met, the wearable device forgoes resuming the respective session of the respective application, wherein the respective criteria include a criterion that is met when a current user of the wearable device is determined to be an authorized user of the wearable device.

Abstract: A wearable audio output device that includes a microphone and one or more input devices detects an input via the one or more input devices. In response to detecting the input and in accordance with a determination that the input is a first type of input, the wearable audio output device adjusts a mute state of the microphone for a first audio function that uses the microphone without adjusting the mute state of the microphone for a second audio function that uses the microphone. In response to detecting the input and in accordance with a determination that the input is not the first type of input, the wearable audio output device forgoes adjusting the mute state of the microphone for the first audio function that uses the microphone.

Abstract: While displaying an application user interface, a device detects a first input to an input device of the one or more input devices, the input device provided on a housing of the device that includes the one or more display generation components. In response to detecting the first input, the device replaces display of at least a portion of the application user interface by displaying a home menu user interface via the one or more display generation components. While displaying the home menu user interface, the device detects a second input to the input device provided on the housing of the device; and in response to detecting the second input to the input device provided on the housing of the device: the device dismisses the home menu user interface.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method of playing audio is performed by a device located in a physical environment, coupled to two or more speakers, and including one or more processors and non-transitory memory. The method includes executing an operating system and an application. The method includes receiving, by the operating system from the application via an application programming interface, audio session parameters including a spatial experience value providing instructions for the spatial playback of audio associated with the application. The method includes receiving, by the operating system from the application, instructions to play audio data. The method includes adjusting, by the operating system, the audio data based on the spatial experience value. The method includes sending, by the operating system to the two or more speakers, the adjusted audio data.

Abstract: A conversation detector processes microphone signals and other sensor signals of a headphone to declare a conversation and configures a filter block to activate a transparency audio signal. It then declares an end to the conversation based on processing one or more of the microphone signals and the other sensor signals, and in response deactivates the transparency audio signal. The conversation detector monitors an idle duration in which an OVAD and a TVAD are both or simultaneously indicating no activity and declares the end to the conversation in response to the idle duration being longer than an idle threshold. Other aspects are also described and claimed.
