Audio Configuration
Configure how Ava captures and processes audio from the microphone.
Compatible with Android 5-16.
Choose how the microphone captures audio:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Auto select | Lets the device choose. Best default |
| Speech boost | Tries to make speech clearer. May change tone |
| Normal pickup | Plain microphone input. Safest choice |
| Call boost | More like call audio. May over-process |
| Unprocessed | Closest to raw input. Good for testing |
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Noise suppression | Use device noise suppressor when available |
| Automatic gain control | Use device AGC when available |
| Hardware echo cancellation | Enable hardware echo cancellation when supported |
| Software echo cancellation | Cancel Ava's own playback from microphone so wake words work during music/TTS playback |
Software AEC is recommended when using music playback or TTS. It replaces the device echo canceler while enabled.
Boost PCM audio before wake word detection and streaming. Range: 0-24 dB.
| Preset | Description |
|---|---|
| Standard 16kHz Mono | Default for voice recognition |
| Broadcast 48kHz Mono | Higher quality capture |
| Stereo Input 48kHz | Stereo recording |
| Low Latency 16kHz | Reduced latency |
| Voice Call Optimized | For voice call use case |
| Unprocessed Raw 48kHz | Raw capture, no processing |
| Compact 8kHz | Lowest bandwidth |
| CD Quality 44.1kHz | High quality |
| Studio 96kHz | Very high quality |
| Ultra HD 192kHz | Maximum quality |
The Voice Channel switch disables all voice input, wake word, and voice assistant threads. Service restart required to apply.
Continuous conversation lets you issue multiple commands without saying the wake word each time.
- Say wake word + first command
- After Ava responds, automatically enters listening mode
- Say next command directly (no wake word needed)
- After 10 seconds of silence, exits continuous conversation mode
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Exit Keyword Stop | End when the assistant says goodbye or farewell phrases (default) |
| Question Mark Continue | Keep listening only if the reply ends with "?"; stop after other replies |
