The Standards We Need: Do Audio Technologies Matter in the Smart Home?

Matter is an industry-unifying standard for the Smart Home that promises reliable, secure connectivity — a seal of approval that devices will work seamlessly together. But... Do audio technologies matter in the Smart Home? The audio industry needs to get involved in this convergence and interoperability effort. After all, we can already tell a speaker to play a song - thanks to voice recognition technology, AI, and wireless networks - but we still don’t have a transparent wireless audio standard to stream audio to speakers or headphones because basically audio remains restricted by specifications that were not written with audio in mind.

FLUX:: and L-Acoustics Promote ADM-OSC Standardization for Object-Based Audio

FLUX:: Immersive, L-Acoustics, and Radio France have joined in an initiative to standardize Open Sound Control (OSC) as a streaming protocol for interoperability among immersive audio systems. Originally intended as a protocol for networking sound synthesizers, computers, and other multimedia devices for musical performance and show control, OSC is a de-facto standard when it comes to controlling and translating metadata for very complex object-based systems, such as those required for immersive audio performance.
