Speaker Cooling

摘要

Embodiments are provided for cooling one or more components of a playback device using speaker vibrations that result from inaudible audio. Movement of air molecules arising from the speaker vibrations may disperse heat away from the one or more components of a playback device. In an example implementation, while playing audible audio content via the at least one speaker, a playback device may receive input data indicating an instruction to stop playback of the audible audio content. The playback device may determine that playback of the audible audio content has stopped and based on that determination, play inaudible audio content to cause the at least one speaker to vibrate thereby inducing air movement within the playback device.
