ABSTRACT:
An automatic volume control system and method for use in a multimedia computer system having at least one speaker and at least one audio generating device accumulates a status of the audio generating device to determine if it is on or off. The system recognizes an audio mute event notification signal from a notification device, such as an incoming telephone call notification signal, and selectively generates a control signal for use in varying the volume to the at least one speaker in response to the detection of the notification signal to selectively control audio from the audio generating device. The system also accommodates multiple audio generating devices. The system analyzes the location of the telephone, speakers and audio generating devices to determine the type of action that is necessary.
