Abstract
An apparatus and method for maintaining a constant speech envelope using automatic gain control, wherein the level of the audio signal is monitored. If increasing, a first level of gain increase is applied to the gain signal. If decreasing, a second level of gain decrease is applied to the gain signal, the second level being less than the first level. By applying a lower level of change to the gain signal when it is seen as decreasing, a more constant speech envelope is obtained during gaps and interstices in the analog signal that are common in speech.
