1. A method comprising:
receiving a request to output audio at a first speaker of an electronic device, a second speaker of the electronic device, and a third speaker external to the electronic device, the first speaker and the second speaker located on a front side of the electronic device;
when a bottom side of the electronic device is supported by a surface, determining that the electronic device is oriented in a portrait orientation or a landscape orientation;
identifying, based on the determined orientation, a first equalization setting for the first speaker and a second equalization setting for the second speaker;
providing, for output at the first speaker, a first audio signal with the first equalization setting; and
providing, for output at the second speaker, a second audio signal with the second equalization setting;
wherein a third audio signal with a default equalization setting is output by the third speaker.
