1. A method for enhancing an audio signal for rendering by an audio rendering system associated with a device, comprising:
transmitting a request to an operating system of the device for rendering system information of the audio rendering system associated with the device, the operating system operating the device and the audio rendering system;
receiving, from the operating system of the device, the rendering system information, wherein the rendering system information comprises data representative of a communication path of the audio signal, wherein the communication path of the audio signal is a headphone jack, built-in speakers of the device, a wireless connection, a universal serial bus (USB) connection, or a high-definition multi-media interface (HDMI);
querying a database using the data representative of the communication path of the audio signal;
receiving, responsive to querying the database, an audio enhancement, wherein the audio enhancement is mapped, in the database, to the data representative of the communication path of the audio signal;
applying the audio enhancement to the audio signal to generate an enhanced audio signal; and
providing the enhanced audio signal to the audio rendering system.
