Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein may include determining a signal parameter of a first microphone and a second microphone associated with a computing device. Embodiments may include generating a reference parameter based upon at least one of the parameter of the first microphone and the parameter of the second microphone. Embodiments may include adjusting a tolerance of at least one of the first microphone and the second microphone, based upon the reference parameter. Embodiments may include receiving, at the first microphone, a first speech signal, the first speech signal having a first speech signal magnitude and receiving, at the second microphone, a second speech signal, the second speech signal having a second speech signal magnitude. Embodiments may include comparing at least one of the first speech signal magnitude and the second speech signal magnitude with a third speech signal magnitude and detecting an obstructed microphone based upon the comparison.
