Abstract
An audio processing system includes a first microphone, a second microphone, and a processor. The first microphone collects first audio and outputs a first audio signal. The second microphone collects second audio and outputs a second audio signal. The processor detects presence or absence of failure of the first microphone and the second microphone, and transmits a detection result as failure detection information. The processor generates a first output signal on the basis of one of the first audio signal and the second audio signal. The processor generates the first output signal in a first mode when the failure detection information represents that the second microphone fails. The first mode is a mode in which the processor generates the first output signal on the basis of the first audio signal output by the first microphone for which no failure is detected.
