Abstract

Acoustic feedback is removed from an audio signal (50) by digitizing the audio signal (50) to produce a digitized audio signal (54). The digitized audio signal (54) is then filtered with an adaptive bandpass filter (56) to detect the frequency of the acoustic feedback, where the adaptive bandpass falter (56) is aligned with the feedback based on a phase relationship between the input and the output of the adaptive bandpass filter (56). A notch filter (58) is then configured based on the frequency of the acoustic feedback, and the digitized audio signal (54) is filtered with the notch filter (58) to attenuate the feedback. The feedback-attenuated digitized signal (62) is converted to a feedback-attenuated analog signal (70).
