ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for audio compensation is disclosed. If audio input components and audio output components are not driven by a common clock (e.g., input and output systems are separated by a network, different clock signals in a single computer system), input and output sampling rates may differ. Also, network routing of the digital audio data may not be consistent. Both clock synchronization and routing considerations can affect the digital audio output. To compensate for the timing irregularities caused by clock synchronization differences and/or routing changes, the present invention adjusts periods of silence in the digital audio data being output. The present invention thereby provides an improved digital audio output.
