Abstract: A speech-capturing device that can modulate its output audio data volume based on environmental sound conditions at the location of a user speaking to the device. The device detects the sound pressure of a spoken utterance at the device location and determines the distance of the user from the device. The device also detects the sound pressure of noise at the device and uses information about the location of the noise source and user to determine the sound pressure of noise at the location of the talker. The device can then adjust the gain for output audio (such as a spoken response to the utterance) to ensure that the output audio is at a certain desired sound pressure when it reaches the location of the user.

Abstract: An audio device may have an output speaker that produces audio within the environment of a user and one or more input microphones that capture speech and other sounds from the user environment. The audio device may use acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) to suppress echoed components of the speaker output that may be present in audio captured by the input microphones. The AEC may be implemented using an adaptive filter that estimates echoing based on an output reference signal. The output reference signal may be generated by a reference microphone placed near the speaker of the audio device.

Abstract: A device that includes a first beam selection component that selects a portion of the multiple beams prior to performing adaptive noise cancellation, in addition to a second beam selection component that selects a beam after adaptive noise cancellation is performed. The device only performs adaptive noise cancellation on the portion of the multiple beams that are selected, reducing a complexity of performing adaptive noise cancellation. In addition, as the first beam selection component selects from the multiple beams before adaptive noise cancellation, the quality of the signals are not reduced and/or desired signals are not suppressed, resulting in the first beam selection component increasing a likelihood that the second beam selection component selects the desired beam. The first beam selection component may use a different algorithm and/or selection criteria than the second beam selection component in order to select beams associated with desired signals such as speech.
