Patent ID: 7827030

Claim:
An audio processing system, comprising: a voice decoder configured to generate decoded voice data packets from a stream of incoming voice data packets; and an audio processor coupled to the voice decoder, the audio processor configured to: store an error-free decoded voice data packet generated by the voice decoder; generate a trigger signal upon detection of an error in the stream of incoming voice data packets; generate from the trigger signal, a switch control signal; provide a first delay upon decoded voice data packets received from the voice decoder, the first delay selected to accommodate processing delays incurred during generation of the trigger signal and the switch control signal; and transmit an output signal generated from one of: the stored error-free decoded voice data packet, or the decoded voice data packets that have undergone the first delay, wherein: when the switch control signal is absent, the delayed stream of incoming voice data packets is connected to an amplitude scaler; and when the switch control signal is present, the delayed stream of incoming voice data packets is disconnected and the decoded error-free voice data packet is connected to the amplitude scaler.
