Abstract
A method and system of managing audio signals within a communication system is provided. An audio signal is received on two or more independent audio paths within an operating environment, such as a vehicular operating environment (106). A controller identifies an audio source ID associated with the audio signal. The audio source ID may be a talkgroup ID, an individual ID, or a channel ID associated with the audio signal. The received audio signal from the independent audio paths is mixed and played out at a spatially separated unique location within the vehicle from other audio signals based on the sound source ID, each sound source ID having a unique location within the vehicle.
