An output control device includes a signal input unit configured to receive an audio signal; a first output unit configured to output the audio signal to a first reproducing device; a second output unit configured to output the audio signal to a second reproducing device via communication in which a delay of a first delay time period occurs; and a buffer unit configured to temporarily store the audio signal, to read the temporarily-stored signal, and to output the read signal to the first and the second output units. The buffer unit is configured to advance a second read position, which is a read position in the buffer unit of a buffer signal to be output to the second output unit, by the first delay time period ahead of a first read position, which is a read position of a buffer signal to be output to the first output unit.
