12. A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
receiving signals from a companion electronic device indicating an orientation of the companion electronic device relative to the electronic device, wherein the electronic device and the companion electronic device are physically separate electronic devices;
increasing a first sound volume associated with first audio emanating from a first audio port when the orientation of the companion electronic device rotates in a first direction relative to the electronic device; and
increasing a second sound volume associated with second audio emanating from a second audio port when the orientation of the companion electronic device rotates in a second direction relative to the electronic device that is opposite the first direction;
wherein the increasing the first sound volume associated with first audio emanating from the first audio port when the orientation of the companion electronic device rotates in the first direction relative to the electronic device leaves other sound volume associated with other audio emanating from the first audio port and having frequencies less than one kilohertz unchanged.
