Abstract

See full text

A system and method for mitigating audio feedback may calculate a smoothed frequency spectrum of an audio signal. Previously detected candidate feedback tones may be obtained. Candidate feedback tones may be determined responsive to a frequency spectrum of the audio signal, the smoothed frequency spectrum and the previously detected candidate feedback tones. One or more signal characteristics associated with the audio signal and feedback coefficients associated with the candidate feedback tones may be obtained. The feedback coefficients may be modified responsive to the one or more signal characteristics. Actionable feedback tones may be determined responsive to the associated feedback coefficients exceeding a respective feedback threshold. Feedback suppression coefficients associated with each of the determined actionable feedback tones may be generated and may be utilized to suppress the actionable feedback tones.
