Abstract

Systems and methods are described for compensating for inaccurate echo prediction in audio systems. A signal may be received at a microphone of an audio system, the signal including audio rendered using a spatial audio renderer across a multi-channel audio output. A signal may be received from the spatial audio renderer that indicates a change in rendering of audio. The audio system may then determine if there is echo power within the received signal greater than an expected echo power. After the signal from the spatial audio renderer has been received, the echo suppression applied to the received signal may be modified in response to a determination that the echo power is greater than the expected echo power, the echo suppression attenuating pre-selected frequency bands of the received signal.
