Abstract

An audio-based system may perform dynamic level adjustment by detecting voice activity in an input signal and evaluating voice levels during periods of voice activity. The current voice level is compared to a plurality of thresholds to determine a corresponding gain strategy, and the input signal is scaled in accordance with this gain strategy. Further adjustment to the signal is performed to reduce output clipping that might otherwise be produced.
