Claim 7:
8. A method, comprising:
adjusting, by a first amplifier comprising a digital amplifier, a playback volume of a device among first increments in a volume table, the volume table including a plurality of the first increments between a minimum volume and a maximum volume, wherein each of the plurality of first increments is spaced by a predetermined difference;
determining, by one or more processors, a background noise level;
calculating, by the one or more processors and as a function of the determined background noise level, one or more second increments smaller than the first increments; and
adjusting, by a second amplifier comprising an analog amplifier, the playback volume in response to the determined background noise level, wherein the adjusting by the second amplifier is among the one or more second increments.
