Enhanced audio component in streamed media

摘要

Techniques are provided for enhancing the audio component of streamed media provided by an application on a computing device, referred to collectively herein as an enhance audio mode. The mode may be configured to enhance audio by adjusting the volume gain during playback of streamed media from a specific application (e.g., Netflix or Pandora). In some cases, detection of playback from a specific media streaming application may be based on detection of a system file update, which may occur, for example, in a user space level. In some cases, the volume gain adjustment may be applied by an audio codec included with the computing device, which may occur, for example, in a kernel space level. The volume gain adjustment may be determined by analyzing the amplitude of the audio component of media streamed from a specific application relative to the speaker(s) included with the computing device.

主权项

1. A computing device, comprising:
a processor; and an enhance audio mode executable on the processor, the processor configured to: cause to be received, into a memory, a sample of an audio component of one or more digital media streams from a specific media streaming application; cause conversion, with a digital-to-analog converter, of the one or more digital media streams into corresponding one or more analog media streams; analyze an amplitude of the audio component of the one or more analog media streams from the specific media streaming application; and cause a volume gain adjustment to be applied to the audio component of the one or more analog media streams from the specific media streaming application, the volume gain adjustment based on the analyzed amplitude of the audio component.
