Abstract

A sound signal detection device is closed. The sound signal detection device is connected between an audio output device and a speaker apparatus. The sound signal detection device includes a first connecting port, a second connecting port, a microphone, and a processing module. The first connecting port connects to the audio output device and acquires a first sound signal. The second connecting port is used for outputting the first sound signal to the speaker apparatus. The microphone is used for receiving a second sound signal from the speaker apparatus. The process module is electrically connected to the microphone and used for detecting a volume of the second sound signal to generate a real volume signal.

Claims (14)

1. A sound signal detection device, connected between an audio output device and a speaker apparatus, the sound signal detection device comprising:

a first connecting port, connected to the audio output device, for acquiring a first sound signal from a minimum volume to a maximum volume generated by the audio output device;

a second connecting port, connected to the speaker apparatus, for outputting the first sound signal from the minimum volume to the maximum volume to the speaker apparatus to make the speaker apparatus to output a second sound signal;

a microphone, used for receiving the second sound signal outputted from the speaker apparatus; and

a processing module, electrically connected to the microphone, used for making the audio output device to output the first sound signal from the minimum volume to the maximum volume and detecting a continuous volume of the second sound signal to obtain a real volume signal generated by the audio output device.

2. The sound signal detection device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first sound signal is a digital signal, and the second sound signal is an analog signal, where the sound signal detection device further comprises:

a digital-to-analog conversion module, electrically connected to the processing module, used for converting the digital first sound signal into an analog sound signal; and

an analog-to-digital conversion module, electrically connected to the processing module, used for converting the analog second sound signal into a digital sound signal.

3. The sound signal detection device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the processing module further returns the real volume signal to the audio output device via the first connecting port.

4. The sound signal detection device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processing module further comprises an equalizer, used for adjusting a gain value of the first sound signal at each frequency band.

5. The sound signal detection device as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising a memory, used for storing a user parameter, wherein the processing module accesses the user parameter to adjust the first sound signal.

6. The sound signal detection device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first connecting port is a USB Type-C adapter.

7. The sound signal detection device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processing module further returns the real volume signal to the audio output device via the first connecting port.

8. The sound signal detection device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a memory, used for storing a user parameter, wherein the processing module accesses the user parameter to adjust the first sound signal.
