1. A method for use in connection with an audio system that is configured to present audio within a listening area, the method comprising:
detecting, by a computing system, a position of a user located within the listening area;
using, by the computing system, at least the detected position of the user to identify, from among multiple candidate reference position, a reference positions that most closely matches the detected position of the user, and wherein using at least the detected position of the user to identify, from among multiple candidate reference positions, the reference position that most closely matches the detected position of the user comprises:
for each of the multiple candidate reference positions, calculating a distance between that candidate reference position and the detected position of the user, and
identifying the reference position with the shortest calculated distance to be the reference position that most closely matches the detected position of the user;
using, by the computing system, at least the identified reference position as a basis to select a set of audio settings that corresponds to the identified reference position; and
configuring, by the computing system, the audio system based on the selected set of audio settings.
