Audio System Having Variable Reset Volume

A method, comprising:

• generating, by a processor of an audio system, an audio signal having a volume parameter;
• pausing, by the processor, the audio signal generation at a first time;
• determining, by the processor, whether the volume parameter is set to a first volume level outside of a selected subrange of a full scale volume range at the first time;
• and
• setting, by the processor, the volume parameter to a second volume level at a second time, wherein the second volume level is different than the first volume level and is based on one or more acoustic factors existing at the second time in response to the first volume level being outside of the selected subrange at the first time and in response to the second time being more than a selected interval after the first time.

A non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor of an audio system to cause the audio system to perform a method comprising:

• generating an audio signal having a volume parameter;
• pausing the audio signal generation at a first time;
• determining whether the volume parameter is set to a first volume level outside of a selected subrange of a full scale volume range at the first time;
• and
• setting the volume parameter to a second volume level at a second time, wherein the second volume level is different than the first volume level and is based on one or more acoustic factors existing at the second time in response to the first volume level being outside of the selected subrange at the first time and in response to the second time being more than a selected interval after the first time.
