  • Publication number: 20250078859
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques, including devices and systems implementing the techniques, for audio signal processing in a device. In some aspects, the audio signal processing may involve providing source separation based speech enhancement in a device. One example technique for providing source separation based speech enhancement generally includes receiving, at the device, an input audio signal, extracting a speech component from the input audio signal, modifying the speech component to generate a modified speech component, and mixing the modified speech component with at least a portion of the input audio signal to generate a synchronized playback audio signal. Providing source separation based speech enhancement may allow for a user consuming the playback audio to be able to fully enjoy any speech component in the playback audio without excessive and undesirable interference from other portions of the playback audio (e.g.

  • Patent number: 10735885
    Abstract: Providing a virtual acoustic environment comprises determining updates to audio signals based at least in part on information in sensor output, including, for each of multiple time intervals: determining an updated position of a wearable audio device, based at least in part on position information in the sensor output; determining layouts of at least four virtual walls, where the layouts are determined such that the updated position is within a space defined by the virtual walls; determining positions of at least four image audio sources associated with a virtual audio source, where a position of each image audio source is dependent on a layout of a corresponding one of the virtual walls and a position of the virtual audio source; and processing the audio signals using an update determined based at least in part on the respective positions of the virtual audio source and the image audio sources.
