Abstract
Sound quality is enhanced in a sound system including handsets and headsets. Handset sound enhancing algorithms are implemented in a handset. The handset automatically determines which, if any, of a plurality of headset sound enhancing algorithms are active in a headset in communication with the handset. The handset determines how to use the handset sound enhancing algorithms in a sound processing channel based on which of the headset sound enhancing algorithms are active in the headset.

15. A method of reducing duplicative sound enhancement processing in a communication channel implemented in a handset and a headset in communication with the handset, the method comprising:
-
dividing sound enhancement processing into a plurality of cooperating algorithms; implementing at least a subset of the plurality of cooperating algorithms in the headset; and transmitting an indication of the implemented subset from the headset to the handset; whereby the handset can selectively determine a second subset of the plurality of cooperating algorithms to use in processing the communication channel so as to avoid repeating sound enhancement processing implemented in the headset. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

24. A method of reducing duplicative sound enhancement processing in a communication channel, the method comprising:
-
dividing sound enhancement processing into a plurality of cooperating algorithms; implementing at least a subset of the plurality of cooperating algorithms in a sound transducing device; and transmitting an indication of the implemented subset from the sound transducing device to an interface device, the interface device operative to communicate with other interface devices through an interconnection system, the interface device operative to process sound signals; whereby the interface device can selectively determine a second subset of the plurality of cooperating algorithms to use in processing the sound signals so as to avoid repeating sound enhancement processing implemented in the sound transducing device. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)
