Abstract
Suppression of noise caused by switching of audio source is performed by receiving, while a speaker outputs audio from a first application, an instruction to output audio from a second application, muting audio output from the speaker in response to receiving the instruction, instructing an amplifier in communication with the speaker to associate a second channel with the second application, instructing the first application to deactivate audio transmission, instructing the amplifier to switch a speaker input from a first channel associated with the first application to the second channel, instructing the second application to activate audio transmission, and unmuting the audio output from the speaker.
