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 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 creating 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 should * call AutomaticGainControl.getEnable() after creating the AGC to check the default AGC activation * state on a particular AudioRecord session. *

See {@link android.media.audiofx.AudioEffect} class for more details on * controlling audio effects. */ public class AutomaticGainControl extends AudioEffect { private final static String TAG = "AutomaticGainControl"; /** * Checks if the device implements automatic gain control. * @return true if the device implements automatic gain control, false otherwise. */ public static boolean isAvailable() { return AudioEffect.isEffectTypeAvailable(AudioEffect.EFFECT_TYPE_AGC); } /** * Creates an AutomaticGainControl and attaches it to the AudioRecord on the audio * session specified. * @param audioSession system wide unique audio session identifier.
