Disclosed are a test instrument and testing methods for audibly providing signal metrics (such as signal strength and/or signal quality) of fifth-generation network (5G) beams to assist installation of 5G Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) antenna at a premises. A test instrument may obtain signal metrics and provide audio output based on the signal metrics at various locations of the premises. The audio output may be transmitted to a headphone device worn by a user. In this manner, the user may select an appropriate location on the premises at which to install the 5G CPE antenna via audible queues that are based on the measured signal metric at a given location. The test instrument may provide fine-tuning capabilities by also audibly providing directional information that indicates where the 5G CPE antenna should be pointed or moved to align the 5G CPE antenna to a 5G beam.

A method includes generating a synthesized non-reference high-band channel based on a non-reference high-band excitation corresponding to a non-reference target channel. The method further includes estimating one or more spectral mapping parameters based on the synthesized non-reference high-band channel and a high-band portion of the non-reference target channel. The method also includes applying the one or more spectral mapping parameters to the synthesized non-reference high-band channel to generate a spectrally shaped synthesized non-reference high-band channel. The method further includes generating an encoded bitstream based on the one or more spectral mapping parameters and the spectrally shaped synthesized non-reference high-band channel.

An audio data transmission method, an audio data transmission system, and an audio data transmission device are described. The audio data transmission method comprises: receiving first channel audio data from an audio source device based on a wireless communication protocol by a first audio data receiving device, receiving second audio channel audio data from the audio source device based on the wireless communication protocol by a second audio data receiving device, starting to receive the first channel audio data and the second channel audio data by one of the first and second audio data receiving devices when a communication quality between the audio source device and another one of the first and second audio data receiving devices fails to meet a preset requirement; and forwarding the first or second channel audio data from the one of the first and second audio data receiving devices to the another one of the first and second audio data receiving device. Thus, the present invention utilizes characteristics of independent fading at different spatial positions, improves reliability of wireless communication and enhances communication quality through a spatial diversity gain.

Various embodiments provide a multi-audio input, stereo audio output, push-to-talk (PTT) switch device. The device may include an audio processing unit configured to perform spatial separation/positioning for one or a plurality of audio sources. The audio processing unit of the device may apply unique head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) to produce left and right audio outputs that correspond to predetermined or dynamically positioned spatial locations for each of the incoming audio streams.

During an electronic call between two individuals, a sound localization point simulates a location in empty space from where an origin of a voice of one individual occurs for the other individual.

A display apparatus includes: a display; an input interface; and a processor in connection with the display and the input interface and configured to: upon detecting access of a first power amplifier device, output a high-level Hotplug signal at a Hotplug port of the display apparatus; monitor whether a common-mode data packet from the first power amplifier device is received within a first preset duration; in response to the common-mode data packet being received within the first preset duration, send a heartbeat packet to the first power amplifier device, and monitor whether a heartbeat response is received within a second preset duration; in response to the heartbeat response being received within the second preset duration, determine that the first power amplifier device supports e-ARC function; and in response to the heartbeat response being not received within the second preset duration, determine that the first power amplifier device supports ARC function.

A device includes one or more processors configured to receive, via wireless transmission from a streaming device, encoded ambisonics audio data representing a sound field. The one or more processors are also configured to perform decoding of the ambisonics audio data to generate decoded ambisonics audio data. The decoding of the ambisonics audio data includes base layer decoding of a base layer of the encoded ambisonics audio data and selectively includes enhancement layer decoding in response to an amount of movement of the device. The one or more processors are further configured to adjust the decoded ambisonics audio data to alter the sound field based on data associated with at least one of a translation or an orientation associated with the movement of the device. The one or more processors are also configured to output the adjusted decoded ambisonics audio data to two or more loudspeakers for playback.

Implementations of the subject technology provide for sound stage reversal for enclosed environments. For example, various occupants within an enclosed environment and listening to the same spatially-oriented audio content may be facing in various different respective directions. Speakers within the enclosed environment may be operated to generate the spatially-oriented audio content for the various occupants, with various respective sound stage orientations corresponding to the various different respective directions in which the occupants face.

In a reliable multi-cast, a concealment scheme may be applied to recover or conceal lost or otherwise corrupted packets of audio information for one channel based on the audio information of other channels in the reliable multi-cast. The concealment scheme may employ correction factors for channels derived from the channel relationships.
