Abstract: An example method of operation may include initializing a microphone array in a defined space to receive one or more sound instances based on a preliminary beamform tracking configuration, detecting the one or more sound instances within the defined space via the microphone array, modifying the preliminary beamform tracking configuration, based on a location of the one or more sound instances, to create a modified beamform tracking configuration, and saving the modified beamform tracking configuration in a memory of a microphone array controller.

Abstract: A loudspeaker arrangement comprises a mid-range loudspeaker arranged in a dashboard of a vehicle, a first tweeter arranged adjacent to the mid-range loudspeaker in the dashboard of the vehicle, and a second tweeter arranged adjacent to the mid-range loudspeaker in the dashboard of the vehicle. The mid-range loudspeaker is arranged between the first tweeter and the second tweeter. The mid-range loudspeaker is a non-directional loudspeaker that radiates sound towards a driver's seat and towards a passenger seat in equal parts. The first tweeter is a directional loudspeaker that radiates sound primarily towards the passenger seat, and the second tweeter is a directional loudspeaker that radiates sound primarily towards the driver's seat.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus assist listeners in distinguishing between electronically generated binaural sound and physical environment sound while the listener wears a wearable electronic device that provides the binaural sound to the listener. The wearable electronic device generates a visual alert or audio alert when the electronically generated binaural sound occurs.

Abstract: Improved methods and/or apparatus for decoding an encoded audio signal in soundfield format for L loudspeakers. The method and/or apparatus can render an Ambisonics format audio signal to 2D loudspeaker setup(s) based on a rendering matrix. The rendering matrix has elements based on loudspeaker positions and wherein the rendering matrix is determined based on weighting at least an element of a first matrix with a weighting factor
g
=
1
L
.
The first matrix is determined based on positions of the L loudspeakers and at least a virtual position of at least a virtual loudspeaker that is added to the positions of the L loudspeakers.-

Abstract: A device includes a memory configured to store untransformed ambisonic coefficients at different time segments. The device includes one or more processors configured to obtain the untransformed ambisonic coefficients at the different time segments, where the untransformed ambisonic coefficients at the different time segments represent a soundfield at the different time segments. The one or more processors are configured to apply one adaptive network, based on a constraint that includes preservation of a spatial direction of one or more audio sources in the soundfield at the different time segments, to the untransformed ambisonic coefficients at the different time segments to generate transformed ambisonic coefficients at the different time segments, wherein the transformed ambisonic coefficients at the different time segments represent a modified soundfield at the different time segments, that was modified based on the constraint. The one or more processors are also configured to apply an additional adaptive network.

Abstract: A method for generating loudspeaker signals associated with a target screen size is disclosed. The method includes receiving a bit stream containing encoded higher order ambisonics signals, the encoded higher order ambisonics signals describing a sound field associated with a production screen size. The method further includes decoding the encoded higher order ambisonics signals to obtain a first set of decoded higher order ambisonics signals representing dominant components of the sound field and a second set of decoded higher order ambisonics signals representing ambient components of the sound field. The method also includes combining the first set of decoded higher order ambisonics signals and the second set of decoded higher order ambisonics signals to produce a combined set of decoded higher order ambisonics signals.

Abstract: A method of obtaining a directional microphone signal, the method comprising: receiving first and second microphone signals from first and second microphones separated by a distance; obtaining a combined microphone signal based on one or more of the first and second microphone signals; obtaining a difference microphone signal by subtracting the second microphone signal from the first microphone signal; obtaining a transformed combined microphone signal by applying a Hilbert transform to the combined microphone signal; combining the transformed combined microphone signal with the difference microphone signal to obtain the directional microphone signal.

Abstract: Methods and a system that automatically determines the spatial relationship of microphone assemblies with respect to a camera of a video conference endpoint through audio signal processing. The video conference endpoint may include at least a microphone assembly and a loudspeaker. The microphone assembly may include a plurality of co-located directional microphones. The video conference endpoint may detect, by the plurality of co-located directional microphones of the microphone assembly, audio emitted from the loudspeaker of the video conference endpoint. The video conference endpoint may then generate data representing a spatial relationship of the microphone assembly with respect to the loudspeaker based on a compilation of the audio detected by the co-located directional microphones of the microphone assembly.
