  • Patent number: 11922961
    Abstract: An audio decoder for providing a decoded audio information on the basis of an encoded audio information includes a linear-prediction-domain decoder configured to provide a first decoded audio information on the basis of an audio frame encoded in a linear prediction domain, a frequency domain decoder configured to provide a second decoded audio information on the basis of an audio frame encoded in a frequency domain, and a transition processor. The transition processor is configured to obtain a zero-input-response of a linear predictive filtering, wherein an initial state of the linear predictive filtering is defined depending on the first decoded audio information and the second decoded audio information, and modify the second decoded audio information depending on the zero-input-response, to obtain a smooth transition between the first and the modified second decoded audio information.
