Abstract

Method includes receiving, through a plurality of channels, audio data corresponding to a plurality of frequency ranges; determining, for each channel's frequency ranges, speech audio and/or noise energy level using a model trained by machine learning; determining a speech signal with removed noise for each channel; determining one or more statistical values associated with an energy level of a channel's speech signal with the removed noise; determining a strongest channel that has highest statistical values associated with an energy level of a speech signal; determining that the one or more statistical values associated with the energy level of the strongest channel's speech signal satisfy a threshold condition; comparing statistical values associated with an energy level of a speech signal of each channel with those of the strongest channel; and determining whether to update a gain value for a channel based on the channel's statistical values associated with the energy level.
