Abstract

This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for processing audio data. For instance, an electronic device may include an automatic gain controller (AGC) that determines AGC gains for amplifying or attenuating an audio data. To determine the AGC gains, the AGC uses information from a residual echo suppressor (RES) and/or a noise reductor (NR). The information may indicate RES gains applied to the audio data by the RES and/or NR gains applied to the audio data by the NR. In some instances, to determine the AGC gain, the AGC determines time-constant parameter(s) using the information. The AGC then uses the time-constant parameter(s) to determine an input signal level for the audio data and/or the AGC gain. In some instances, to determine the AGC gain, the AGC operates in an attack mode or a release mode based on the information.
