An audio system in a home network (PLC, WiFi, etc.) is provided, comprising an audio signal source device connected via the home network to a plurality of sound output devices and configured to transmit a multichannel digital audio stream. The home network also might carry data from other connected applications where collisions, retransmissions, jitter, etc. might be caused. Each of the sound output devices comprises a decoder to decode the digital audio stream in order to derive an audio channel of the plurality of audio channels. The audio channel is associated with the respective sound output device. Each sound output device is configured to output its respective associated audio channel, and the outputs of the sound output devices are synchronized by delaying them by sound output device-specific delays. The delay is adjusted to guarantee a synchronous play-out of the audio among all sound output devices. |
