A mute setting is automatically set based on a speech detection result for acoustic signals received by a device. A device detects the speech based on a variety of cues from acoustic signals received using one or more microphones. If speech is detected within one or more frames, a mute setting may be automatically turned off. If speech is not detected, a mute setting may be automatically turned on. A mute setting may remain on as long as speech is not detected within the received acoustic signals. A varying delay may be implemented to help avoid false detections. The delay may be utilized during a mute-on state, and gradually removed during a transition from a mute-on state to a mute-off state.

Provided are systems and methods for dynamic detection of changes in signal bandwidth associated with audio samples received by a communication device during handovers, where the communication device is moved through geographical areas served by different wireless network technologies. Based on the detection, operation parameters of an audio processor of the communication device may be adjusted or switched to achieve optimal performance of audio enhancing procedures (e.g., noise suppression) performed by the audio processor and to preserve minimal power consumption.
