Abstract:
A sampler module divides an audio signal into a series of sequential samples. A signal quality detector module identifies, over a plurality of samples at an outset of the audio signal, a spectral variance of a first range of frequencies of the audio signal below a predetermined threshold frequency as being consistently greater than a spectral variance of a second range of frequencies of the audio signal above the predetermined threshold frequency and determines a signal treatment indication responsive to the identification. A signal enhancer module sequentially receives and analyzes one or more sample components of the audio signal to identify lost parts of the audio signal in the one or more sample components of respective sequential samples, and generates, in accordance with the signal treatment indication, a corresponding signal treatment for each of the one or more sample components of respective sequential samples having a corresponding identified lost part.
