Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product enhance audio quality during a voice communication session, enhancing audio quality for a device of a remote user. The apparatus can comprise a processor, a memory, and a computer program code, and can be configured to receive and weight audio signals based on signal attributes such that audio signals can be adjusted and adjusted signals mixed to form a composite audio signal. In a method, a processor receives audio signals from audio sensors around a room, selects one or more audio signals based on audio signal attributes, and adjusts or causes the adjustment of the one or more audio signals based on the audio signal attributes. The method can also include causing the adjusted audio signals to be mixed to form a composite signal, and causing the composite signal to be communicated to a device of a remote user.
