Abstract
An audio processing system includes a speech detector that receives and processes an audio input signal to determine if the input signal includes components indicative of speech, and provides a control signal indicative of whether or not the audio input signal includes speech. A speech processing device receives the audio input signal and processes the audio input signal to improve its quality if the control signal indicates that the audio input signal includes speech.
