1. A computer system that is in communication with an audio generation component, comprising:
a display generation component;
one or more input devices;
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving output audio data associated with output audio generated using the audio generation component, the output audio comprising a first audio signal, a second audio signal, and a third audio signal, and the output audio data including a first anticipated output audio volume for the first audio signal, a second anticipated output audio volume for the second audio signal, and a third anticipated output audio volume for the third audio signal;
in accordance with a determination that the output audio data satisfies a first set of criteria, wherein the first set of criteria is satisfied when the first anticipated output audio volume for the first audio signal exceeds an output audio volume threshold having a first threshold value:
causing output of the first audio signal at a reduced output audio volume that is below the first anticipated output audio volume;
causing output of the second audio signal at the second anticipated output audio volume; and
causing output of the third audio signal at an increased output audio volume that is greater than the third anticipated output audio volume;
in accordance with a determination that the output audio data does not satisfy the first set of criteria:
causing output of the first audio signal at the first anticipated output audio volume;
causing output of the second audio signal at the second anticipated output audio volume; and
causing output of the third audio signal at the third anticipated output audio volume;
displaying, via the display generation component, a volume control interface object representing a range of threshold values for the output audio volume threshold;
detecting, via the one or more input devices, an input corresponding to the volume control interface object; and
in response to detecting the input corresponding to the volume control interface object, adjusting the output audio volume threshold from the first threshold value to a second threshold value different than the first threshold value.
