Abstract

A system and method is provided for allocating video bandwidth of a channel that carries both video and audio information. The quality of an audio signal received over the channel is determined, and the video bandwidth of the channel is changed based upon the quality of the received audio signal. The quality of the audio signal can be determined by measuring factors including audio latency, the extent to which audio packets that are sent are not received, the sampling rate at which audio information in the audio signal is digitized, and detecting a period of audio silence.
