    摘要: An apparatus comprising means configured to: receive audio content from a remote user device, the audio content comprising primary audio and secondary audio, the secondary audio being different to the primary audio and comprising ambient audio; receive secondary audio importance information associated with said audio content and indicative of an importance of the secondary audio; receive current audio presentation information indicative of at least whether audio from one or more audio sources is currently being presented as spatial audio such that respective audio of the one or more audio sources is to be perceived as originating from one or more respective directions or ranges of directions around the user; provide for presentation of the primary audio; and provide for presentation of the secondary audio based on the secondary audio importance information and the current audio presentation information.

    摘要: An apparatus, method and computer program is described comprising: receiving a near-field audio source signal from a near-field microphone (22); receiving a far-field audio signal from an array comprising one or more far-field microphones (23); determining a filter length of a first portion of a room impulse response filter for the near-field microphone, wherein said filter length of said first portion is the same at each of a plurality of frequency bands of the filter and wherein said filter length of said first portion includes a direct acoustic propagation delay; and determining a filter length of a second portion of the room impulse response filter at each of the plurality of frequency bands, wherein the filter length of said second portion is frequency-dependent.

    摘要: A method, apparatus and computer program, the method comprising: obtaining a first audio signal emitted by an audio source, wherein the first audio signal is captured by a first microphone located at a first position; obtaining at least one second audio signal emitted by the same audio source, wherein the at least one second audio signal is captured by one or more second microphones located at one or more second positions which are different to the first position; determining if one or more of the second audio signals were obtained within a threshold time; and if one or more second audio signals were obtained within the threshold time causing the one or more second audio signals that were obtained within the threshold time to be processed for rendering spatial audio to a user; and if one or more second audio signals were not obtained within the threshold time causing, at least part of, the one or more second audio signals that were not obtained within the threshold time to be discarded.

    摘要: An apparatus comprising means for: receiving values for sub-bands of a frame of an audio signal, the values comprising at least one azimuth value, at least one elevation value and at least one energy ratio value for each sub-band; determining an allocation of first number of bits to encode the values of the frame, wherein the first number of bits are fixed; encoding the at least one energy ratio value for a frame based on a defined allocation of a second number of bits from the first number of bits; encoding the at least one azimuth value and/or at least one elevation value of the frame based on a defined allocation of a third number of bits from the first number of bits, wherein the third number of bits is variably distributed on a sub-band-by-sub-band basis.
