  • Volume-dependent automatic gain control
    Patent number: 10277183
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method to generate an audio output signal is disclosed. The method may include receiving an audio input signal at an automatic gain control (AGC) unit. The method may further include receiving a volume setting indicator signal at the AGC unit. Further, the method may include setting one or more operational parameters for the AGC unit based on the volume setting indicator signal. In addition, the method may include applying a gain to the audio input signal based on the one or more operational parameters to generate an audio output signal at a desired output level.
