DOUBLE TALK DETECTION USING CAPTURE UP-SAMPLING
A method of double talk detection includes using up-sampling. Audio signals received from the far end are up-sampled prior to output by the loudspeaker at the near end. The microphone at the near end captures audio at the up-sampled rate, and the audio output by the loudspeaker is detectable due to having no energy in the up-sampled frequency bands. The double talk detector uses this information to generate a signal for suppressing the echo of the far end audio from the captured audio signal that is transmitted to the far end.

Robust short-time fourier transform acoustic echo cancellation during audio playback
Example techniques involve noise-robust acoustic echo cancellation. An example implementation may involve causing one or more speakers of the playback device to play back audio content and while the audio content is playing back, capturing, via the one or more microphones, audio within an acoustic environment that includes the audio playback. The example implementation may involve determining measured and reference signals in the STFT domain. During each n.sup.th iteration of an acoustic echo canceller (AEC): the implementation may involve determining a frame of an output signal by generating a frame of a model signal by passing a frame of the reference signal through an instance of an adaptive filter and then redacting the n.sup.th frame of the model signal from an n.sup.th frame of the measured signal. The implementation may further involve determining an instance of the adaptive filter for a next iteration of the AEC.
