Abstract: Replacement of an encoded audio output signal is disclosed. In one example, a data set comprising a first encoded audio output signal and associated pre-stored digital audio input signals captured with a microphone array of an apparatus is received. An intermediate audio signal is produced by applying an audio processing modification to the digital audio input signals. The audio processing modification utilizes apparatus specific information. The specific audio processing modification to use is determined based on user input or other information. The intermediate audio signal is encoded to produce a second encoded audio output signal. The first encoded audio output signal is replaced with the second encoded audio output signal in the data set.

Abstract: It is inter alia disclosed to determine a peak energy level for an audio frame of a band limited audio signal; determine that the peak energy level is a maximum peak energy level by determining that the peak energy level exceeds a peak energy level determined for at least one neighboring audio frame by a first predetermined energy threshold value; classify a region of audio samples associated with the maximum peak energy level as an audio click; and suppress audio samples of the region of audio samples classified as an audio click by multiplying at least one audio sample of the audio frame with a sample wise suppressor gain function.
