==Original Abstract Submitted==

Actuator assemblies, and electronic devices and wearable devices including actuator assemblies, are disclosed. An actuator assembly includes: a first housing enclosing an audio actuator and a first open volume; and a second housing enclosing a haptic actuator and a second open volume. The first open volume is fluidly connected with the second open volume by an aperture between the first housing and the second housing. A first wall of the first housing abuts a second wall of the second housing. The aperture includes a first opening in the first wall of the first housing and a second opening in the second wall of the second housing. The first housing includes a linking component configured to mechanically connect to the second housing. The linking component includes a fluid conduit extending from the first open volume to an opening in the second wall of the second housing.
