Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is an audio pre-processing which automatically normalizes the * output of the captured signal by boosting or lowering input from the microphone to match a preset * level so that that the output signal level is virtually constant. * AGC can be used by applications where the input signal dynamic range is not important but where * a constant strong capture level is desired. *
An application creates a AutomaticGainControl object to instantiate and control an AGC * engine in the audio framework. *
To attach the AutomaticGainControl to a particular {@link android.media.AudioRecord}, * specify the audio session ID of this AudioRecord when constructing the AutomaticGainControl. * The audio session is retrieved by calling * {@link android.media.AudioRecord#getAudioSessionId()} on the AudioRecord instance. *
On some devices, an AGC can be inserted by default in the capture path by the platform * according to the {@link android.media.MediaRecorder.AudioSource} used. The application can * query which pre-processings are currently applied to an AudioRecord instance by calling * {@link android.media.audiofx.AudioEffect#queryPreProcessings(int)} with the audio session of the * AudioRecord. *
See {@link android.media.audiofx.AudioEffect} class for more details on * controlling audio effects. * @hide */ public class AutomaticGainControl extends AudioEffect { private final static String TAG = "AutomaticGainControl"; /** * Class constructor. *
