Claim Text:
1. An audio processor comprising: a band splitter that is to split an input audio signal into a plurality of band signals; for each band signal, a volume re-mapper to translate a user preference volume level to a converted volume level based on a programmable volume curve for the band signal, wherein each band signal is associated with one of a plurality of programmable volume curves, wherein each of the plurality of programmable volume curves is created by linearly interpolating between a minimum gain, a number of programmable points, and a maximum gain, wherein each of the programmable points represents a mapping from a user preference volume level to a converted volume level; for each band signal, a gain stage that is to apply a signal gain to the band signal based on the converted volume level to generate a gain adjusted band signal; for each band signal, a compressor that is to compress the gain adjusted band signal to generate one of a plurality of compressed band signals; and a band combiner that is to combine the plurality of compressed band signals into a combined audio signal.
