Abstract

See full text

An audio automatic gain control (AGC) circuit (301) employs a method (400, 500) and apparatus (300) for mitigating noise in an output signal (307) of the audio AGC circuit (301). The audio AGC circuit (301) or a circuit coupled to the audio AGC circuit, such as a speech encoder (302), determines (405) whether audio information is present in an input signal (137) to the audio AGC circuit (301). When audio information is not present, the audio AGC circuit (301) applies (411) a gain to the input signal (137) that is less than a current gain being applied, thereby mitigating noise in the audio AGC circuits output signal (220) when audio is not present.
