Abstract
A local histogram is generated with a controller based on local audio signals generated with a local microphone. A level of transmit attenuation and a level of receive attenuation are generated with the controller based on the local histogram. The local audio signals are attenuated with a transmit attenuator at the level of transmit attenuation for transmission to a remote node. Remote audio signals received from the remote node are attenuated with a receive attenuator at the level of receive attenuation for playback at a local speaker.
