    摘要: Encoder-assisted frame loss concealment (FLC) techniques for decoding audio signals are described. A decoder may discard an erroneous frame of an audio signal and may implement the encoder-assisted FLC techniques in order to accurately conceal the discarded frame based on neighboring frames and side-information transmitted from the encoder. The encoder-assisted FLC techniques include estimating magnitudes of frequency-domain data for the frame based on frequency-domain data of neighboring frames, and estimating signs of the frequency-domain data based on a subset of signs transmitted from the encoder as side-information. Frequency-domain data for a frame of an audio signal includes tonal components and noise components. Signs estimated from a random signal may be substantially accurate for the noise components of the frequency-domain data. However, to achieve highly accurate sign estimation for the tonal components, the encoder transmits signs for the tonal components of the frequency-domain data as side-information.

    摘要: This disclosure describes techniques that make use of a waveform fetch unit that operates to retrieve waveform samples on behalf of each of a plurality of hardware processing elements that operate simultaneously to service various audio synthesis parameters generated from one or more audio files, such as musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) files. In one example, a method comprises receiving a request for a waveform sample from an audio processing element, and servicing the request by calculating a waveform sample number for the requested waveform sample based on a phase increment contained in the request and an audio synthesis parameter control word associated with the requested waveform sample, retrieving the waveform sample from a local cache using the waveform sample number, and sending the retrieved waveform sample to the requesting audio processing element.

    摘要: A mobile audio device (for example, a cellular telephone, personal digital audio player, or MP3 player) performs Audio Dynamic Range Control (ADRC) and Automatic Volume Control (AVC) to increase the volume of sound emitted from a speaker of the mobile audio device so that faint passages of the audio will be more audible. This amplification of faint passages occurs without overly amplifying other louder passages, and without substantial distortion due to clipping. Multi-Microphone Active Noise Cancellation (MMANC) functionality is, for example, used to remove background noise from audio information picked up on microphones of the mobile audio device. The noise-canceled audio may then be communicated from the device. The MMANC functionality generates a noise reference signal as an intermediate signal. The intermediate signal is conditioned and then used as a reference by the AVC process. The gain applied during the AVC process is a function of the noise reference signal.
