Abstract

A method of controlling an audio system comprises: receiving an audio signal, and applying a first gain to the audio signal and outputting an amplified audio signal. On receiving a user input to increase the first gain applied to the audio signal, if the first gain is at a first threshold value, the method comprises: receiving an ambient noise signal, processing the ambient noise signal with a second gain value and outputting a noise cancellation signal, and changing the second gain value in response to the user input.
