Abstract: Provided is a presence-based volume control system. The system may include a surround sound receiver and a volume control unit coupled in-line between a speaker and the surround sound receiver. The volume control unit may include a microprocessor, a position sensor coupled to the microprocessor, an audio input coupled to the surround sound receiver, an audio output coupled to the speaker, and an audio amplifier coupled to and controlled by the microprocessor and coupled to the audio input and the audio output. In operation, the position sensor determines a position of a user of a virtual reality device, an augmented reality device or a mixed reality device and the microprocessor automatically adjusts a volume of the speaker coupled to the surround sound receiver in response to the proximity of the user to the speaker.
