A hearing system includes a pair of first and second hearing devices wirelessly coupled to a remote device that includes a microphone. One or more gains can each be calculated as a function of a first microphone signal received from the first hearing device, a second microphone signal received from the second hearing device, and a remote microphone signal received from the remote device. The function can be designed to improve speech intelligibility in a noisy environment. The one or more gains are applied to the first and second microphone signals to produce output sounds by the first and second hearing devices.

A system and method executed by audio processing software on one or more electronic devices in a computer system to process digital audio signals. The system comprises a digitizer for digitizing a received audio signal; and processor for performing a plurality of audio processing functions on the digitized audio signals, each of the audio processing functions having at least one programmable parameter, and wherein each of the audio processing functions are categorized and grouped as audio objects, and organized into a channel strip, the channel strip processing digitized audio signals for a particular received audio signal, and wherein, the audio objects are fixed in order, so that the digitized received audio signals are processed by a predefined number of N audio objects, and wherein the N audio objects occur in a fixed sequence, and further wherein, the N audio objects comprise a first subset of non-exchangeable audio objects and a second subset of exchangeable audio objects, such that any one or more of the second subset of audio objects can be exchanged by a replacement audio object, and further wherein when the audio processing functions are programmed, they can be saved without compiling the audio processing software.

An apparatus comprising: a visual component generator configured to determine at least one display component and an audio component with an associated location relative to an apparatus display; an orientation determiner configured to determine an orientation of the display; and a component locator configured to determine the location of the at least one display component and audio component on the display dependent on the orientation of the display.

Disclosed herein, among other things, are systems and methods for person-to-person voice communication between ear-wearable devices. A method includes receiving, using a microphone of a first hearing device configured to be worn on or in an ear of the first user, a first acoustic own voice signal from the first user. The method further includes transmitting, from the first hearing device via a wireless connection to a second hearing device configured to be worn on or in an ear of a second user, a first audio packet based on the received first acoustic own voice signal. The method also includes receiving, at the second hearing device via the wireless connection, the first audio packet from the first hearing device, and playing, at the second hearing device using a second receiver, an output signal for the second user based on the first audio packet.

Embodiments relate to a system and a method for a redundant real-time wireless receiver network. A Remote Digital Antenna Digital Receiver (“RDADR”) is coupled to multiple Remote Digital Antenna (“RDAs”). The RDADR and the multiple RDAs are coupled via a digital bus. The multiple RDAs attempt to receive one or more digital signals from a transmitter. If the one or more digital signals are received without an error by one of the multiple RDAs, the RDA that received the one or more error-free digital signals sends the digital signals to the RDADR using the digital bus. The redundant real-time wireless receiver network provides a reliable and fault tolerant system to deliver digital audio signals in real-time.

A camera integrates a magnet at one end of a housing to magnetically attract and attach the camera to a front side of a peripheral display, such as to support a video conference through an information handling system interfaced with the display. Camera position movement at a display panel front face is detected, such as with a touchscreen of the display panel, and accelerometer or an infrared curtain presented from the camera dock along the display panel front face. Audio and visual information communicated from the camera is altered when movement is detected at the camera, such as muting a microphone of the camera and cutting off capture of visual images by the camera module.

A wearable electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a processor operatively connected to a wireless communication circuit, a first audio mixer, a second audio mixer, a first audio output interface, a second audio output interface, and a speaker, the processor being configured to detect output of a plurality of audio signals including a first audio signal having a first property, transmit the first audio signal having the first property to the first audio mixer, transmit remaining audio signals to the second audio mixer, transmit the first audio signal to the first audio output interface to output the first audio signal through the speaker, synthesize the remaining audio signals into a second audio signal using the second audio mixer, and transmit the synthesized second audio signal to the second audio output interface to output the second audio signal through the external device.

An audio hub is disclosed including a plurality of daughterboards and a mainboard communicatively coupled to each of the plurality of daughterboards. Each of the plurality of daughterboards is associated with an audio channel and each audio channel is independent from the other of the audio channels associated with the other ones of the plurality of daughter boards. Further, each daughterboard includes at least one wireless transceiver operably configured to wirelessly transmit an audio signal associated with the corresponding audio channel from a musical instrument over a network to the audio playback device. The mainboard is configured so that, for each of the plurality of daughterboards, the mainboard is operable to independently modify at least one characteristic of the audio signal from the musical instrument before the audio signal is transmitted to the audio playback device.

A portable speaker system for an electric string instrument such as a guitar. The portable speaker system has a housing including an audio jack for receiving a raw audio signal from a guitar, an amplifier, a speaker, and a power supply. The portable speaker system attaches to the guitar by a button connector which releasably attaches to a strap button of the guitar, and a stabilizer for inhibiting rotation of the portable speaker system when attached to the guitar. The portable speaker system portably generates output sound from the raw audio signal. The portable speaker system can couple with a portable computing device, which can process the raw audio signal and provide a supplementary audio signal, from which the portable speaker system can portably generate output sound.

An audio switching device includes a housing, a first user interface, and a controller within the housing and in electronic communication with the first user interface. The controller is configured to connect a first audio source to the audio switching device, connect a first listening device to the audio switching device, such that an output from the first audio source is received at the first listening device, receive a first input from the first user interface, disconnect the first listening device in response to receiving the first input, and connect a second audio listening device to the audio switching device, such that an output from the first audio source is received at the second listening device.
