Patent attributes
A method, system, and apparatus for troubleshooting one or more multimedia devices of an audio system have been disclosed herein. An audio loopback device transmits a test signal to a first multimedia device. The first multimedia device, after receiving the test signal, generates a response signal. The audio loopback device triggers a priority controller based on an unsuccessful detection of the response signal. The priority controller troubleshoots a communicative coupling by at least changing a mode of operation of at least one of a first multimedia device or a second multimedia device from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation. The first mode of operation or the second mode of operation may be utilized by the first multimedia device to establish the communicative coupling with the second multimedia device for delivering an audio signal of the second multimedia device on an audio device.
