Abstract

In an embodiment, a method of processing audio signals at a device includes receiving audio signals at a plurality of microphones of the device; processing at least one of the audio signals received by the plurality of microphones to generate a first characteristic; a beamformer applying beamformer coefficients to the received audio signals, thereby generating a beamformer output; processing the beamformer output to generate a second characteristic. An echo canceller is applied to the beamformer output, thereby suppressing, from the beamformer output, an echo resulting from audio signals output from an audio output. An operating parameter of the echo canceller is determined, using a relationship between the first and second characteristics.
