Abstract
In aspects of ending active noise cancellation based on a detected audio source, a mobile device implements an audio playback manager that detects a headset employing active noise cancellation (ANC) of audio in communication with a mobile device in an environment of the mobile device. The audio playback manager receives a selection of at least one audio source that triggers adjustment of the ANC and detects sound originating from the at least one audio source that triggers adjustment of the ANC. Based on detecting the sound originating from the at least one audio source, the audio playback manager adjusts the ANC.

A mobile device, comprising:
- at least one processor coupled with a memory;
- and
- an audio playback manager configured to cause the mobile device to:
- detect a headset outputting audio and employing active noise cancellation (ANC) of the audio, the headset in communication with the mobile device in an environment of the mobile device;
- receive a selection of indicating at least one audio source that triggers an adjustment of the ANC;
- detect sound including dialog originating from the at least one audio source;
- and
- adjust the ANC and pause playback of the audio based on detecting the sound originating from the at least one audio source.
A method, comprising:
- detecting a headset, in communication with a mobile device, employing active noise cancellation (ANC) in an environment of the mobile device and outputting audio;
- detecting sound including dialog originating from at least one audio source that triggers an adjustment of the ANC;
- and
- adjusting the ANC and pausing playback of the audio based on detecting the sound including the dialog originating from the at least one audio source.
A system, comprising:
- a headset having active noise cancellation (ANC) and configured to output audio, the headset in communication with a mobile device;
- and
- a processor configured to implement an audio playback manager to:
- receive a selection of at least one audio source that triggers an adjustment of the ANC;
- detect sound including dialog originating from the at least one audio source that triggers the adjustment of the ANC;
- and
- adjust the ANC and pause playback of the audio based on detecting the sound originating from the at least one audio source.
