Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems are provided for independent audio volume control. User input may be received in an audio setup configured for combined-game-and-chat audio, with the user input including one or both of a selection of a desired volume of a chat audio component of the combined-game-and-chat audio signal, and a selection of a desired volume of a game audio component of the combined-game-and-chat audio signal. Based on the user input, a corresponding mix setting may be determined, with the mix setting including one or more control parameters for adaptively controlling mixing of the chat audio component and the game audio component to generate the combined-game-and-chat audio signal. The mix setting may be determined based on a data set characterizing an audio device where at least portion of the mixing is performed. The data set may be pre-programmed and/or determined based on testing of the audio device.
