  • AUDIO SOURCE SYSTEM AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20140109074
    Abstract: A method includes receiving hardware update information during a first time period. The method further includes using the hardware update information to synchronize a first audio data stream with a device driver. The method further includes receiving hardware emulation information during a second time period and using the hardware emulation information to simulate synchronization between the device driver and the first audio data stream.

  • Audio source system and method
    Patent number: 8639370
    Abstract: A system includes a computer having a device driver. The device driver includes a detection module to detect an audio input. The device driver includes a selection module to send the audio input to audio hardware after detection of the audio input. The device driver also includes an emulation module to send hardware emulation information to an operating system audio application to replace feedback data received at the device driver from the audio hardware and sent from the device driver to the operating system audio application.

  • Audio source system and method
    Patent number: 7966085
    Abstract: A system and method for providing an audio source to an audio hardware device is disclosed. The system includes a detection module to detect a first audio input and a selection module to selectively provide the first audio input at an audio output to an audio device after the first audio input has been detected. The system also includes an emulation module to provide hardware emulation information corresponding to feedback data of the audio device after the first audio input has been detected.

  • Digital security system
    Patent number: 7949131
    Abstract: A system and method for processing a digital audio signal is disclosed. The system includes an input to receive a digital audio signal and a first output to provide a first digital output signal. The digital audio signal has a first fidelity characteristic and the first digital output signal has a second fidelity characteristic. The second fidelity characteristic is determined in response to security information extracted from the digital audio signal. The first digital output signal is provided to a digital to analog converter.
