  • Patent number: 10154343
    Abstract: Provided are, among other things, systems, methods and techniques for reducing echo in an audio signal. One representative embodiment involves obtaining an input signal, an estimate of a system-characterizing function, and a reference signal, each at a corresponding sample rate and each divided into a plurality of sub-bands; separately processing such sub-bands, where for a given sub-band the estimate of the system-characterizing function and the reference signal are processed to generate an echo-estimation signal and then the echo-estimation signal is subtracted from the input signal to provide an echo-corrected signal for such given sub-band; and combining the echo-corrected signal from each of different ones of the plurality of the sub-bands to provide a final output signal, with the echo-estimation signal generated using a processing sample rate that is lower than the sample rate for the input signal.

  • Patent number: 10073607
    Abstract: A method of processing audio may include receiving, by a computing device, a plurality of real-time audio signals outputted by a plurality of microphones communicatively coupled to the computing device. The computing device may output to a display a graphical user interface (GUI) that presents audio information associated with the received audio signals. The one or more received audio signals may be processed based on a user input associated with the audio information presented via the GUI to generate one or more processed audio signals. The one or more processed audio signals may be output to, for example, one or more output devices such as speakers, headsets, and the like.

  • Patent number: 9258661
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a processor, a first data frame at a first time from a first microphone. The method also includes receiving a second data frame at the first time from a second microphone. The method further includes calculating a power ratio of the first microphone and the second microphone based on the first data frame and the second data frame in response to determining that the first data frame and the second data frame are noise data frames.
