Steve, the AGC works independently of the AEC.
The speaker signal is processed by the AGC and the output of the AGC
is
used as the speaker input signal to the AEC.
So you're saying I have a problem then?

If the speaker signal path looks like this:
----- speaker signal ----> [AGC] ----- gain corrected speaker signal
----> [AEC] -----> sout
does that constitute the AGC being inside the EC loop ? I would say
no, but I might be
missing something?

If you can link the AGC to the EC you can make it all come right, but if
they work independently, you're screwed

AGC inside EC loop makes the system nonlinear -> system model is
inadequate -> EC doesn't work.

This is a general question about acoustic echo cancellation based on
NLMS.
If an AEC receives a speaker signal which has been processed by an
automatic gain control algorithm, will that have any adverse effects
on the AEC's performance?
If the change in speaker gain level is too sudden or far from being
smooth, doesn't that result in the AEC having to re-adapt?
Thank you.
