A method of gaming comprising: outputting a plurality of different game accompanying sounds individually during at least part of play of one or more games; and outputting two or more sounds together in response to at least one game event occurring.

The present technology provides a more natural audio experience in a virtual world. In particular, the present technology provides an inner cone around a local player where audio sources within the inner cone are presented at full volume and an outer cone where audio sources outside the outer cone are presented at a minimum volume, or not at all. Audio sources that originate between the inner cone and outer cone are scaled based on their distance between the inner cone and outer cone. The present technology also provides a spatial aspect by shaping the inner cone and outer cone based on the forward vector of the local player so that more sounds are audible that are in front of the local player and less sounds behind the local player are audible.

A gaming machine having an audio channel outputting game sound and an audio channel intaking microphone sound and outputting chat sound is coupled with a headset having earpieces and a microphone and a Bluetooth transceiver in the headset for sending and receiving the microphone and chat sounds. A radio receiver or wired connection in the headset receives the game sounds. Circuitry in the headset is connected between the transceiver and receiver for mixing the microphone, chat, and game sounds and feeding them all to the earpieces.

Methods and systems for providing audio synchronization control for game scenes of a game includes receiving audio data that is identified for defining the audio synchronization control desired for the game. The audio data is processed to identify a language spoken in the audio signal and to determine characteristics of the audio signal by extracting keywords spoken in the audio signal. A correlation between the keywords is determined and used to identify a sentiment expressed in the audio signal. A subset of the characteristics including the sentiment is provided as input parameters to a game logic. The input parameters include audio synchronization control usable by the game logic to control at least some interactions between two or more assets rendering in one or more game scenes of the game.

This application discloses a virtual object control method performed by a terminal, a storage medium, and a program product. The method includes: displaying a game picture of a side-scrolling game, the game picture comprising a first virtual object and one or more movement paths for the first virtual object to move in the side-scrolling game; in response to a use operation on a virtual prop, controlling the first virtual object to use the virtual prop for changing a use state of a movement path for the first virtual object to move in the side-scrolling game; adjusting a use state of a target movement path of the one or more movement paths included in the game picture according to the virtual prop to obtain the adjusted target movement path; and controlling the first virtual object to move on the adjusted target movement path.

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a computing device having a controller to obtain a user input that was inputted into a first accessory operably coupled with the computing device where the first accessory provides a user interface for user interaction with a video game, determine a language of an intended recipient of the user input based on an identity of the intended recipient, access a multi-lingual library comprising a plurality of words associated with the video game, match the user input to one or more words of the plurality of words of the multi-lingual library to generate a translated message in the determined language of the intended recipient, and provide the translated message to a second accessory for presentation to the intended recipient in real-time. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

An audio processing method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: obtaining a voice audio of a first game user and spatial position information of a first virtual object controlled by the first game user in a game scene; performing conversion processing on the voice audio of the first game user to obtain a target audio matching a character attribute of the first virtual object; and transmitting the target audio and the spatial position information of the first virtual object to a second terminal such that the second terminal plays the target audio according to the spatial position information of the first virtual object, a second virtual object controlled by a second game user using the second terminal and the first virtual object being in a same game scene.

A gaming machine having an audio channel outputting game sound and an audio channel intaking microphone sound and outputting chat sound is coupled with a headset having earpieces and a microphone and a Bluetooth transceiver in the headset for sending and receiving the microphone and chat sounds. A radio receiver or wired connection in the headset receives the game sounds. Circuitry in the headset is connected between the transceiver and receiver for mixing the microphone, chat, and game sounds and feeding them all to the earpieces.

This specification relates to generating variations of in-game sound effects using machine-learned models. According to a first aspect of this specification, there is described a computer implemented method of training a machine-learned generative model to generate sound effect variations. The method comprises: for each of a plurality of training examples in a set of training examples, each training example comprising a waveform of a sound effect: generating a low dimensional representation of the waveform of the sound effect; inputting the waveform of the sound effect and the low-dimensional representation of the waveform of the sound effect into the generative model; processing, by the generative model, the input waveform of the sound effect and the low-dimensional representation of the waveform of the sound effect to generate a sample from an output distribution; and updating parameters of the generative model using an objective function based on a distribution of the input samples.

The present technology provides a more natural audio experience in a virtual world. In particular, the present technology provides an inner cone around a local player where audio sources within the inner cone are presented at full volume and an outer cone where audio sources outside the outer cone are presented at a minimum volume, or not at all. Audio sources that originate between the inner cone and outer cone are scaled based on their distance between the inner cone and outer cone. The present technology also provides a spatial aspect by shaping the inner cone and outer cone based on the forward vector of the local player so that more sounds are audible that are in front of the local player and less sounds behind the local player are audible.
