Abstract

An audio system includes a digital audio interface, a first filter stage, a second filter stage, a controller, and a first path selector. The controller is communicatively coupled to the digital audio interface and configured to determine whether an audio signal received at the digital audio interface is below a first signal threshold. The controller selects one of a first signal path that passes through the first and second filter stages and a second signal path that bypasses the first filter stage based upon the determination. The first path selector is communicatively coupled to the controller and at least one of the first filter stage and the second filter stage and is configured to generate the selected one of the first and second signal paths.
