Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods for presenting an audio signal to a user of a wearable head device. According to an example method, a first input audio signal is received. The first input audio signal is processed to generate a first output audio signal. The first output audio signal is presented via one or more speakers associated with the wearable head device. Processing the first input audio signal comprises applying a pre-emphasis filter to the first input audio signal; adjusting a gain of the first input audio signal; and applying a de-emphasis filter to the first audio signal. Applying the pre-emphasis filter to the first input audio signal comprises attenuating a low frequency component of the first input audio signal. Applying the de-emphasis filter to the first input audio signal comprises attenuating a high frequency component of the first input audio signal.

An information processing device includes circuitry that detects a change in a position of a person. The circuitry also changes a position of a virtual sound source in accordance with the change in the position of the person and outputs a sound through wave field synthesis so that a spatial sound field is transmitted via a plurality of speakers.

In one aspect, a method for providing a binaural recording to a listener with a head applied in a hearing system, whereas the binaural recording is listened to using a hearing device and whereas the binaural recording consists of a left binaural ear signal intended for a left ear of the listener, and a right binaural ear signal intended for a right ear of the listener, comprises determining a head orientation, determining a source direction of the binaural recording with respect to the head orientation, detecting a change of the head orientation to a new head orientation, adapting the binaural recording considering the source direction of the binaural recording and the new head orientation.

A sound signal processing method includes: obtaining a sound signal; obtaining impulse response data that was measured in a predetermined space before the sound signal is obtained; generating an early reflected sound control signal not including a reverberant sound by convolving impulse response data of an early reflected sound among the obtained impulse response data into the obtained sound signal.

An apparatus for synthesizing a spatially extended sound source includes: a spatial information interface for receiving a spatial range indication indicating a limited spatial range for the spatially extended sound source within a maximum spatial range; a cue information provider for providing one or more cue information items in response to the limited spatial range; and an audio processor for processing an audio signal representing the spatially extended sound source using the one or more cue information items.

An audio transmission method is performed by a first electronic device, the first electronic device is connected to a second electronic device through wireless communication, and the second electronic device includes a first channel playback apparatus and a second channel playback apparatus. The audio transmission method includes: obtaining target audio, and decoding the target audio into a first channel audio signal and a second channel audio signal; and transmitting the first channel audio signal to the first channel playback apparatus through an ultra wide band transport protocol, and transmitting the second channel audio signal to the second channel playback apparatus through the ultra wide band transport protocol.

Technology for grouping, consolidating, and pairing individual playback devices with network capability (players) to stimulate a multi-channel listening environment is disclosed. An example method includes receiving an audio signal containing a range of audio frequencies; amplifying, according to a gain parameter, the audio signal to be reproduced by at least one speaker. The example method includes automatically increasing the gain parameter to a higher gain parameter responsive to a determination that no more than a subset of the range of audio frequencies is to be reproduced by the at least one speaker. The example method includes amplifying, according to the higher gain parameter, the audio signal containing no more than the subset of the range of audio frequencies to be reproduced by the at least one speaker.

Examples described herein involve configuring a playback device based on distortion, such as that caused by a barrier. One implementation may involve causing the playback device to play audio content according to an existing playback configuration, determining an existing frequency response of the playback device in a given system, and determining whether a difference between the existing frequency response of the playback device in the given system and a predetermined frequency response for the playback device is greater than a predetermined distortion threshold. If it is determined that the difference between the existing frequency response of the playback device and the predetermined frequency response for the playback device is greater than the predetermined distortion threshold, then the existing playback configuration of the playback device is changed to an updated playback configuration of the playback device and the playback device plays audio content according to the updated playback configuration.
