1. A method for enhancing sound quality in a communication system, the communication system including a plurality of interconnected handsets, the method comprising:
- determining a first set of sound enhancing algorithms in a first handset, the first set of sound enhancing algorithms optimizing transmission through an interconnection channel;
transmitting an indication of the set of sound enhancing algorithms through the interconnection channel to a second handset; and
automatically determining in the second handset which second set of sound enhancing algorithms to use in the second handset based on the indication transmitted from the first handset.

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.
