Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for a frontend capture module of a video conferencing application, which can modify an input signal, received from a microphone device to match predetermined signal characteristics, such as voice signal level and expected noise floor. An Input stage, a suppression module and an output stage amplify the voice signal portion of the input signal and suppress the noise signal of input signal to predetermined ranges. The input stage selectively applies gains defined by a gain table, based on signal level of the input signal. The suppression module selectively applies a suppression gain to the input signal based on presence or absence of voice signal in the input signal. The output stage further amplifies the input signal in portions having a voice signal and applies a gain table to maintain a consistent noise floor.
