Abstract
This application relates to audio driving circuitry (), and in particular to audio driving circuitry for outputting first and second audio driving signals for driving a stereo audio load (), which may be a stereo audio load of an accessory apparatus () removably coupled to the audio driving circuitry in use. A load monitor () is provided for monitoring to monitor, from a monitoring node (), an indication of a common mode return current passing through a common return path, together with an indication of a common mode component of the first and second audio driving signals and to determine an impedance characteristic of the stereo audio load. The load monitor () can provide dynamic monitoring of any significant change in load impedance. In some embodiments the load monitor () comprises an adaptive filter () which adapts a parameter of the filter which is related to the load impedance so as to determine the indication of load impedance.
