Method of transmitting data in a communication system

A terminal comprising:

• a first receiver configured to receive a first audio signal comprising a plurality of data elements;
• an analysis unit configured to analyse characteristics of the first audio signal;
• a second receiver configured to receive a second audio signal from a user of the terminal that is to be transmitted from the terminal;
• a detector configured to detect if a mute condition is activated for the second receiver by analyzing characteristics of the second signal and detecting that the mute condition is activated if the information included in the second signal is below a threshold;
• and
• a delay unit configured to apply a delay between receiving the first audio signal and outputting from the terminal at least one of said plurality of data elements, and to increase the delay if it is determined that the mute condition is activated for the second receiver at the terminal, and to decrease the delay if it is determined that the mute condition is not activated.

A method comprising:

• receiving at a terminal a first signal comprising a plurality of data elements;
• analyzing characteristics of the first signal;
• receiving from a user of the terminal a second signal to be transmitted from the terminal;
• detecting if a mute condition is activated at the terminal by analyzing characteristics of the second signal and detecting that the mute condition is activated if no information is included in the second signal;
• and
• applying a delay between receiving at the terminal and outputting from the terminal via a speaker at the terminal at least one of said plurality of data elements of the first signal;
• and
• adjusting the delay between the receiving at the terminal and the outputting from the terminal via the speaker at the terminal at least one of said plurality of data elements of the first signal based on the analyzed characteristics of the first signal and on the detection of the mute condition, the adjusting comprising increasing the delay if it is detected that the mute condition is activated, and decreasing the delay if it is detected that the mute condition is not activated.
