contents Acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) in multi-device scenarios is a challenging problem due to sample rate offset (SRO) between devices. The SRO hinders the convergence of the AEC filter, diminishing its performance. To address this , we approach the multi-device AEC scenario as a multi-channel AEC problem involving a multi-channel Kalman filter, SRO estimation, and resampling of far-end signals. Experiments in a two-device scenario show that our system mitigates the divergence of the multi-channel Kalman filter in the presence of SRO for both correlated and uncorrelated playback signals during echo-only and double-talk. Additionally, for devices with correlated playback signals, an independent single-channel AEC filter is crucial to ensure fast convergence of SRO estimation.
