Abstract

See full text

In handsfree communications devices including a linear echo or noise canceler, both analog and digital gain factors are adjusted in response to user volume control inputs, the analog gain factor being frozen during active communications (e.g., during telephone calls). By providing dual user controls, one of which is disabled when a call is in progress, embodiments of the invention provide the wide dynamic range required in most handsfree applications without degrading performance of the linear echo canceler.
