Abstract: Techniques for controlling the volumes of multiple audio output devices using a collective (master) volume control and an individual volume control for each audio output device. In one set of embodiments, each individual volume control can be configured to indicate the current absolute volume level of its corresponding audio output device. When the master volume control is manually adjusted, the individual volume controls can be automatically adjusted in a manner proportional to the manual adjustment of the master volume control. In addition, when an individual volume control is manually adjusted to a setting or value that exceeds the master volume control, the master volume control can be automatically adjusted to be equal to, or greater than, the manually adjusted setting for the individual volume control. In this scenario, the other individual volume controls can remain unchanged.

Abstract translation: 用于使用集体（主）音量控制和每个音频输出设备的单独音量控制来控制多个音频输出设备的音量的技术。 在一组实施例中，每个单独的音量控制可以被配置为指示其对应的音频输出设备的当前绝对音量电平。 当手动调整主音量控制时，可以以与主音量控制的手动调节成比例的方式自动调节各个音量控制。 此外，当个人音量控制手动调整到超过主音量控制的设置或值时，可以将主音量控制自动调整为等于或大于单独音量控制的手动调节设置。 在这种情况下，其他单独的音量控制可以保持不变。

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus for image-based browsing through a plurality of digital media assets assisted by media cues are disclosed. The media cues can be provided by playback of short audio segments, referred to as snippets, of the digital media assets being browsed. The digital media assets can be grouped into collections of digital media assets. In one embodiment, as a user browses through digital media assets using visual representations of the collections of digital media assets, media cues can be provided.
