Abstract:
There is provided an apparatus for providing an output signal to an audio transducer, comprising: a first signal path for receiving a first digital audio input signal, applying a first digital gain, and outputting an amplified first digital audio input signal; a second signal path, for receiving a second digital audio input signal, applying a second digital gain, and outputting an amplified second digital audio input signal; converter circuitry, coupled to the first and second signal paths, for converting at least the amplified first and second digital audio input signals into the analogue domain, and outputting an analogue audio input signal; and an analogue gain element, for applying an analogue gain to the analogue audio input signal and outputting the output signal. The apparatus further comprises a control circuit, coupled to the first and second signal paths, operative to select the analogue gain based on a combination of at least the first and second digital audio input signals or signals derived therefrom, and to select the first and second digital gains so as to compensate for the analogue gain.

Claim (Index 11):
The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the second digital audio input signal is intermittent, such that the analogue gain and the first digital gain are selected so as to compensate for the presence and absence of the second digital audio input signal.
