Method and apparatus for processing digital audio signal

摘要

Maximal and minimal values represented by samples of a digital audio signal are detected. A number of samples from a sample representing a minimal value to a maximal-value-corresponding sample is detected. A number of samples from a sample representing a maximal value to a minimal-value-corresponding sample is detected. Calculation is given of a first difference between the maximal-value-corresponding sample and the immediately-preceding sample. Calculation is given of a second difference between the minimal-value-corresponding sample and the immediately-preceding sample. First and second coefficients are calculated from the detected sample numbers. The first coefficient and the first difference are multiplied to generate a first multiplication result. The second coefficient and the second difference are multiplied to generate a second multiplication result. The maximal value represented by the maximal-value-corresponding sample is incremented by the first multiplication result. The minimal value represented by the minimal-value-corresponding sample is decremented by the second multiplication result.
