Abstract: A system configured to detect microphone failure and optimize settings using remaining functional microphones. For example, a device may detect a defective (e.g., nonfunctional or malfunctioning) microphone when an energy level for the defective microphone is lower than a threshold value for a period of time. After detecting the defective microphone, the device may update configuration settings by reassigning microphones (e.g., selecting a functional microphone instead of the defective microphone) and/or by calculating new configuration settings accordingly (e.g., excluding a nonfunctional microphone or compensating for an attenuation or phase shift of a malfunctioning microphone). For example, the system may recalculate beamformer coefficients using the remaining microphones, which may improve a performance of the device (e.g., wakeword detection, automatic speech recognition (ASR), etc.) and result in only a marginal performance degradation relative to fully-functioning microphones.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for detecting that a microphone of a voice-enabled device is unusable due to noise levels around the microphone, and indicating to a user that the device has become unusable due to, for example, buffeting. The device may analyze audio signals to determine that the noise levels are too high to perform speech-processing techniques to detect voice. The device may utilize speakers to output sounds, and/or LEDs to output light, to indicate noise levels and/or that the device is unable to detect voice due to buffeting. In this way, the device may indicate that a user needs to speak loudly to be heard, move their device, and/or reduce sound in the environment to use the speech-processing abilities of the device.
