A device is disclosed that makes packetized and encoded speech data audible to a listener, as is a method for operating the device. The device includes a unit for generating a synchronization request for reducing an amount of synchronization delay, and further includes a speech decoder that is responsive to the synchronization delay adjustment request for executing a time-warping operation for one of lengthening or shortening a duration of a speech frame. In one embodiment the speech decoder comprises a code excited linear prediction (CELP) speech decoder, and the CELP decoder time-warping operation is applied to a reconstructed excitation signal u(k) to derive a time-warped reconstructed signal u<SUB>w</SUB>(k). The time-warped reconstructed signal u<SUB>w</SUB>(k) is input to a Linear Predictor (LP) synthesis filter to derive a CELP decoder time-warped output signal y<SUP>^</SUP><SUB>w</SUB>(k). In another embodiment the speech decoder comprises a parametric speech decoder, and where an adaptation of the frame length N in the parametric speech decoder results in the use of a modified frame length N<SUB>w</SUB>.
