Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a more consistent background noise for mixed audio transmitted from a local environment to a remote location. The systems and methods may generate and add aggregate comfort noise to a mixed audio signal, and the aggregate comfort noise may be based on noise spectral estimates from each audio device in an environment. Metrics related to speech and noise levels may be shared between the audio devices in an environment to modify the noise reduction processing of audio signals on each audio device.

Abstract: Embodiments include a processing device communicatively coupled to a plurality of audio devices comprising at least one microphone and at least one speaker, and to a digital signal processing (DSP) component having a plurality of audio input channels for receiving audio signals captured by the at least one microphone, the processing device being configured to identify one or more of the audio devices based on a unique identifier associated with each of the one or more audio devices; obtain device information from each identified audio device; and adjust one or more settings of the DSP component based on the device information. A computer-implemented method of automatically configuring an audio conferencing system, comprising a digital signal processing (DSP) component and a plurality of audio devices including at least one speaker and at least one microphone, is also provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for operating a wireless audio network including a plurality of wireless microphone units (e.g., wireless delegate units) and a central access point having a mixer. The wireless microphone units may perform voice detection and level sensing, and make a preliminary gating decision. The central access point may make a final gating decision, determine the granting of wireless communications channels, and generate a final mixed audio output signal.
