    Abstract: Clock synchronization for an acoustic echo canceller (AEC) with a speaker and a microphone connected over a digital link may be provided. A clock difference may be estimated by analyzing the speaker signal and the microphone signal in the digital domain. The clock synchronization may be combined in both hardware and software. This synchronization may be performed in two stages, first with coarse synchronization in hardware, then fine synchronization in software with, for example, a re-sampler.

    Abstract: A processing system can include tracking microphone array(s), audio-tracking circuitry configured to detect a location of audio sources from audio signals from the array(s), and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry can be configured to: identify a first microphone that has a strongest signal strength; estimate a location of an active speaker based on at least an output of the audio-tracking circuitry; determine whether a second microphone for the active speaker is affected by an acoustic obstacle based on the location of the active speaker and a location of the first microphone that has the strongest signal strength; estimate attenuation for microphones based on a comparison of actual signal strengths of the microphones with estimated signal strengths of the microphones that are estimated based on microphone signals of the second microphone for the active speaker; and modify the attenuation based on an estimated location of the acoustic obstacle.
