Pervasive Multi-channel audio systems are being realized due to advances in digital technology. This paper proposes an efficient system that serially connects individual speakers with bidirectional digital communication capability by means of SoC design. In particular, each speaker can identify the bit stream assigned to the speaker and convert it into analog audio. Furthermore, the speaker can self-diagnose the speaker functionality by utilizing the designed capability to measure frequencies of various square wave test signals. The proposed system running on 200MHz clock yielded restoration of analog output signal with latency of only $500{\mu}s$ compared to directly driving the speakers in a traditional way.

Closed quotient (CQ) represents the time ratio for which the vocal folds remain in contact during voice production. Because analyzing CQ values serves as an important reference point in vocal training for professional singers, these values have been measured mechanically or electrically by either inverse filtering of airflows captured by a circumferentially vented mask or post-processing of electroglottography waveforms. In this study, we introduced a novel algorithm to predict the CQ values only from audio signals. This has eliminated the need for mechanical or electrical measurement techniques. Our algorithm is based on a gated recurrent unit (GRU)-type neural network. To enhance the efficiency, we pre-processed an audio signal using the pitch feature extraction algorithm. Then, GRU-type neural networks were employed to extract the features. This was followed by a dense layer for the final prediction. The Results section reports the mean square error between the predicted and real CQ. It shows the capability of the proposed algorithm to predict CQ values.

In this paper, we present a very useful method for updating digital satellite radio broadcast channel information. When a devices equipped with function to receive Digital Satellite Radio such as Home Theater, MP3 player, mobile phones, car audio system and various other types of Digital Devices, receives new Digital satellite radio (will be mentioned as XM radio onwards) broadcast channel information, only the current received XM radio broadcast channel and N number of pre/post nearby broadcast channels are scanned randomly in zigzag manner. Then the previous XM radio broadcast channel information updated with the newly received XM radio broadcast channel information. Since this method can prevent batch update for all XM radio channel, including some channels which less likely did not select by user, update process for real time frequently changed XM radio broadcast channel information can be performed efficiently with minimal or without delay.

In this paper, we proposed a system for bit stream wireless communication using audio/video infrared transceiver and implemented a circuit. The proposed transmitter system converted bit stream into analog signal format that is similar to NTSC. Then the analog signal can be transmitted by infrared spatial coupler for A/V signals. And the receiver system recover the bit stream by inverse process of transmitter.

In this paper, we designed and implemented digital wireless audio system with embedded RTOS using Bluetooth. Transmitter is consisted of a Settopbox, FIFO for interface block, Microprocessor(ARM7TDMI), UART driver and Bluetooth module. Receiver is consisted of a Microprocessor, AC-3 decoder, Bluetooth module and a Speaker with Amp. We programed Bluetooth protocal stack of HCI, L2CAP, and RFCOMM, so that Bluetooth module interacts with CPU.

In general, analog amplifiers for 5.1 or more channels have been used to configure home theater systems. In order to make high-performance systems, it is desirable to process audio signals in digital techniques in consideration of output and efficiency of speakers. Especially we need 7.1-channel system to separate audio signals efficiently. In this paper we implemented the architecture of S/PDIF 7.1-channel digital amplifier for home theater systems. The amplifier shows good performance with less loss of original sounds because of both strong characteristics against noises and direct processing of input data.
