摘要： This disclosure describes techniques that make use of a plurality of hardware elements that operate simultaneously to service synthesis parameters generated from one or more audio files, such as musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) files. In one example, a method comprises storing audio synthesis parameters generated for one or more audio files of an audio frame, processing a first audio synthesis parameter using a first audio processing element of a hardware unit to generate first audio information, processing a second audio synthesis parameter using a second audio processing element of the hardware unit to generate second audio information, and generating audio samples for the audio frame based at least in part on a combination of the first and second audio information.

摘要： This disclosure describes audio mixing techniques that intelligently combine two or more audio signals into an output signal. The techniques allow audio to be combined, yet create perceptual differentiation between the different audio signals. The result is that a user is able to hear both audio signals in a combined output, but the different audio signals do not perceptually interfere with one another. The techniques are relatively simple to implement and are well suited for radio telephones.

摘要： In general, this disclosure describes techniques for changing a sampling frequency of a digital signal. In particular, the techniques provide a more accurate way to determining a relative timing between a desired output sample and a corresponding input sample using a non-approximated integer representation of the relative timing. The relative timing between the desired output sample and corresponding input sample may be represented using a first component that identifies a latest input sample of the digital signal used to generate intermediate samples, a second component that identifies an intermediate sample, and a third component that identifies a timing difference between the desired output sample and the intermediate sample. Each of the components may be recursively updated using non-approximated integer values.

摘要： Techniques are described for sampling rate conversion in the digital domain by up-sampling and down-sampling a digital signal according to a selected intermediate sampling frequency. A prototype anti-aliasing filter that has a bandwidth with multiple factors is stored in memory. The techniques include selecting an intermediate sampling frequency to be an integer multiple of a desired output sampling frequency of a digital signal based on the factors of the prototype filter, and selecting a down-sampling factor to be the same integer associated with the selected intermediate sampling frequency. A filter generator generates an anti-aliasing filter for the selected down-sampling factor based on the prototype filter. A sampling rate converter up-samples the digital signal at an input sampling frequency to the selected intermediate sampling frequency, filters the digital signal with the derived anti-aliasing filter, and down-samples the digital signal by the selected down-sampling factor to the desired output sampling frequency.

摘要： A method and system for resynchronizing an embedded multimedia system using bytes consumed in an audio decoder. The bytes consumed provides a mechanism to compensate for bit error handling and correction in a system that does not require re-transmission. The audio decoder keeps track of the bytes consumed and periodically reports the bytes consumed. A host microprocessor indexes the actual bytes consumed since bit errors may have been handled or corrected to a predetermined byte count to determine whether resynchronization is necessary.

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.

摘要： This disclosure describes signal processing techniques that can improve the performance of blind source separation (BSS) techniques. In particular, the described techniques propose pre-processing steps that can help to de-correlate the different signals from one another prior to execution of the BSS techniques. In addition, the described techniques also propose optional post-processing steps that can further de-correlate the different signals following execution of the BSS techniques. The techniques may be particularly useful for improving BSS performance with highly correlated audio signals, e.g., from two microphones that are in close spatial proximity to one another.

摘要： A communications device that is configured to detect double talk is described. An echo canceller is configured to cancel an echo from an input signal using an adaptive filter. A double-talk detector provides a double-talk statistic. The double-talk statistic is proportional to the ratio of the remaining echo energy in the cancellation error signal and the total cancellation error energy.

摘要： A mechanism is provided that monitors secondary microphone signals, in a multi-microphone mobile device, to warn the user if one or more secondary microphones are covered while the mobile device is in use. In one example, smoothly averaged power estimates of the secondary microphones may be computed and compared against the noise floor estimate of a primary microphone. Microphone covering detection may be made by comparing the secondary microphone smooth power estimates to the noise floor estimate for the primary microphone. In another example, the noise floor estimates for the primary and secondary microphone signals may be compared to the difference in the sensitivity of the first and second microphones to determine if the secondary microphone is covered. Once detection is made, a warning signal may be generated and issued to the user.
