Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for gaming headset with enhanced off-screen awareness. One or more components may be identified or detected in input audio signals, which may meet particular positioning criteria, relating to a user of the system when the user is receiving output audio signals corresponding to the input audio signals. The input audio signals may then be processed to adjust characteristics corresponding to the one or more components and/or one or more other components in the output audio signals, as perceived by the user when receiving the output audio signals. The positioning criteria may include field-of-view of the user, with the one or more components corresponding to sounds in (or having source(s) within) the field-of-view of the user. The processing may be configured to enhance the one or more other components and/or to subtract or suppress the one or more components.
