Most modern desktop computers are equipped with audio hardware. This hardware allows audio to be recorded as digital information for storage and later playback. This digital information can be manipulated to change how the audio sounds when played back. Several digital audio “effects” have become commonplace because of the flexibility and fidelity of digital editing. Audio DSP solutions for home theater products enable OEMs to deliver the most features and most realistic sound across product lines including high-fidelity, high-end systems and feature-rich low-end systems. The increasing demand for technically refined digital signal processing has allowed the ingress of a variety of applications, further reinforcing the maturation of the audio DSP market . The worldwide market for audio DSP is predicted to gain strength on the back of the need to build high-performance communication systems cost-efficiently. Employment of DSP chips in the consumer electronics segment h...
