Abstract:
The technology described in this document can be embodied in a computer-implemented method that includes receiving, at a first acoustic device, a representation of an audio signal, and amplifying the representation of the audio signal by a first gain factor to generate an amplified input signal. The method also includes processing the amplified input signal by an audio codec that includes one or more processors to generate a processed signal that represents a portion of the audio signal to be output by a second acoustic device. The processed signal includes noise originating at the audio codec. The method further includes transmitting the processed signal to the second acoustic device.

Claim (Index 44):
A machine-readable storage device having encoded thereon computer readable instructions for causing one or more processors to perform operations comprising:\n receiving, at a first acoustic device, a representation of an audio signal; detecting a dynamic range of the representation of the audio signal; determining available dynamic range headroom as a difference between a dynamic range of a system in which the audio codec is disposed, and the dynamic range of the representation of the audio signal; selecting a first gain factor such that an associated amount of amplification does not exceed the available dynamic range headroom; amplifying the representation of the audio signal by the first gain factor to generate an amplified input signal; processing the amplified input signal to generate a processed signal that represents a portion of the audio signal to be output by a second acoustic device; and providing the processed signal for transmission to the acoustic device.
