Methods and systems for aligning amplification gains in a plurality of interconnected devices are disclosed. The method includes receiving by each device limiter gain attenuations and brownout gain attenuations broadcasted by the plurality of devices and selecting the maximum brownout gain attenuation and the maximum limiter gain attenuation. The method includes determining a total attenuation as a sum of the maximum brownout attenuation gain and the maximum limiter attenuation gain. The method includes receiving a frame synchronization signal and adjusting the amplification gain by applying the total attenuation responsive to the frame synchronization signal.

Brownout management for an audio amplification system. An audio amplification system includes audio volume control circuitry, audio sample interpolation circuitry, and brownout management circuitry. The brownout management circuitry includes brownout detection circuitry and brownout response circuitry. The brownout detection circuitry is configured to determine whether a voltage of a battery that powers the audio amplification system is below a brownout threshold, and to generate a brownout detection signal that indicates the voltage is below the brownout threshold. The brownout response circuitry is coupled to an audio output of the audio sample interpolation circuitry. The brownout response circuitry is configured to attenuate the audio samples output by the audio sample interpolation circuitry responsive to the brownout detection signal indicating that the voltage is below the brownout threshold.
