Estimating the term…
In operation of an electronics device, audio based on asynchronous events, such as game playing, is intelligently combined with audio output nominally generated in a predictive manner, such as resulting from media playback. For example, an overall audio output signal for the electronic device may be generated such that, for at least one of audio channels corresponding to predictive manner processing, the generated audio output for that channel included into the overall audio output signal is based at least in part on configuration information associated with a processed audio output signal for at least one of the audio channels corresponding to asynchronous events based processing. Thus, for example, the game audio processing may control how audio effects from the game are combined with audio effects from media playback.
A method of operating an electronic device to provide audio support for a plurality of processes operating on the electronic device, the processes including a process that nominally causes generation of audio output based on asynchronous events and a process that nominally causes generation of audio output in a predictive manner, the method comprising:
A computer program product to operate an electronic device to provide audio support for a plurality of processes operating on the electronic device, the processes including a process that nominally causes generation of audio output based on asynchronous events and a process that nominally causes generation of audio output in a predictive manner, the computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable medium having computer program instructions stored therein which are operable to cause at least one computing device to:
An electronic device configurable to provide audio support for a plurality of processes operating on the electronic device, the processes including a process that nominally causes generation of audio output based on asynchronous events and a process that nominally causes generation of audio output in a predictive manner, the electronic device comprising:
