Intelligent volume control interface

An apparatus comprising at least one processor, and memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:

• receive a first audio signal during an application execution in an apparatus;
• determine a volume level based on a volume control interface for controlling a volume level of the first audio signal, wherein the volume control interface is configured to operate in at least two different sub-sections forming a volume control range for the executed application;
• select one of the at least two different sub-sections based on the determined volume level;
• determine a first digital signal processing algorithm associated with equalization and a second digital signal processing algorithm which is different from the equalization configured to operate in the selected sub-section, wherein the first and the second digital signal processing algorithms are to be performed in accordance with the selected sub-section and the executed application providing the first audio signal;
• process the received first audio signal by the determined first and second digital signal processing algorithms;
• and
• output the processed first audio signal at the determined volume level based on the volume control interface.

A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program, the computer program comprising instructions causing, when executed on at least one processor, at least one apparatus to:

• receive a first audio signal during an application execution in an apparatus;
• determine a volume level based on the volume control interface for controlling a volume level of the first audio signal, wherein the volume control interface is configured to operate in at least two different sub-sections forming a volume control range for the executed application;
• select one of the at least two different sub-sections based on the determined volume level;
• determine a first digital signal processing algorithm associated with equalization and a second digital signal processing algorithm which is different from the equalization configured to operate in the selected sub-section, wherein the first and the second digital signal processing algorithms are to be performed in accordance with the selected sub-section and the executed application providing the first audio signal;
• process the received first audio signal by the determined first and second digital signal processing algorithms;
• and
• output the processed first audio signal at the determined volume level based on the volume control interface.
