Abstract
Example implementations include methods, apparatuses, and systems for receiving one or more audio channels by an audio ducking system of an audio system; splitting each audio channel of the one or more audio channels into a plurality of frequency subband channels corresponding to a plurality of frequency subbands; performing Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)—based audio ducking on first ones of the plurality of frequency subband channels that correspond to a first subset of the plurality of frequency subbands that are below a frequency threshold; and skipping the MIMO-based audio ducking on second ones of the plurality of frequency subband channels that correspond to a second subset of the plurality of frequency subbands that are equal to or above the frequency threshold.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving one or more audio channels by an audio ducking system of an audio system;
- splitting each audio channel of the one or more audio channels into a plurality of frequency subband channels corresponding to a plurality of frequency subbands;
- performing Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)—based audio ducking on first ones of the plurality of frequency subband channels that correspond to a first subset of the plurality of frequency subbands that are below a frequency threshold;
- and
- skipping the MIMO-based audio ducking on second ones of the plurality of frequency subband channels that correspond to a second subset of the plurality of frequency subbands that are equal to or above the frequency threshold.
A system comprising an audio ducking system of an audio system, the system comprising:
- one or more band splitters configured to split each audio channel of one or more audio channels into a plurality of frequency subband channels corresponding to a plurality of frequency subbands;
- and
- one or more Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)—based audio ducking components configured to perform MIMO-based audio ducking on first ones of the plurality of frequency subband channels that correspond to a first subset of the plurality of frequency subbands that are below a frequency threshold, wherein the system is configured to skip the MIMO-based audio ducking on second ones of the plurality of frequency subband channels that correspond to a second subset of the plurality of frequency subbands that are equal to or above the frequency threshold.
