An apparatus and method for outputting audio signals of a portable communication device are provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of audio tables including different volume control values or tone control values, and allows a user to selectively set audio tables corresponding to each of audio paths equipped with the portable communication device. Further, the apparatus analyzes a surrounding environment during a voice call, determines the absence or presence of noise, and suitably controls a volume or a tone of audio signals based on the result of the determination before outputting the audio signals. Accordingly, the apparatus can provide an improved calling condition in various calling environments.

Apparatus and method for outputting audio according to audio tables

An apparatus and a method thereof, processes a voice signal of a mobile terminal in a mobile communication system. The apparatus to process a received-voice signal received through a wireless channel in a mobile terminal includes a digital signal processing unit to generate an encoded packet and frame type information defining a characteristic of the encoded packet by performing voice encoding on an audible signal input from a microphone. The apparatus also includes a received-voice controlling unit to determine a noise level in consideration of the frame type information and a level of the audible signal, and to control at least one of a tone and a volume of a received voice by the determined noise level.
