Detecting and compensating for pressure deviations affecting audio transducers

A method, comprising:

• analyzing, by a computing system, one or more signals transmitted to an audio transducer, wherein the one or more signals transmitted to the audio transducer includes an oscillating audio signal;
• determining, by the computing system and based on the analyzing the one or more signals, an inductance of electronic components affecting the one or more signals;
• and
• modifying, by the computing system and based on using the determined inductance to determine that atypical displacement of the membrane of the audio transducer has occurred, the one or more signals to compensate for the atypical displacement of the membrane of the audio transducer,
• wherein modifying the one or more signals transmitted to the audio transducer includes adjusting a gain of the oscillating audio signal to limit or prevent asymmetric clipping of the membrane of the audio transducer resulting from the atypical displacement of the membrane of the audio transducer,
• wherein modifying the one or more signals transmitted to the audio transducer to compensate for the atypical displacement includes reducing a level of the modifying of the one or more signals over a period of time based on pre-determined information that indicates a rate of depressurization.

A system comprising:

• an audio transducer;
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable devices including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the system to perform operations that comprise:
• analyzing, by a computing system, one or more signals transmitted to an audio transducer;
• determining, by the computing system and based on the analyzing the one or more signals, an inductance of electronic components affecting the one or more signals;
• determining, by the computing system and based on the analysis of the one or more signals transmitted to the audio transducer, that the membrane of the audio transducer is experiencing asymmetric clipping that results in audible distortion to a user from the audio transducer;
• and
• modifying, by the computing system and based on using the determined inductance to determine that atypical displacement of the membrane of the audio transducer has occurred, the one or more signals to compensate for the atypical displacement of the membrane of the audio transducer, wherein modifying the one or more signals transmitted to the audio transducer is further based on having determined that the membrane of the audio transducer is experiencing asymmetric clipping and the modification limits the asymmetric clipping of the membrane of the audio transducer.
