Recent large audio language models (LALMs) have extended their capabilities beyond lexical speech understanding to tasks requiring paralinguistic and non-linguistic audio understanding, such as emotion recognition. However, these models still struggle to reliably utilize acoustic information, particularly when it co-occurs with spoken linguistic content. Existing benchmarks do not clearly distinguish acoustic perception from higher-level reasoning, making it difficult to identify the source of these failures. To address this issue, we introduce VocalGrad, a benchmark designed to evaluate…
