Abstract: A method includes performing modifying, at a decoder, at least a portion of inter-channel phase difference (IPD) parameter values based on a mismatch value to generate modified IPD parameter values. The mismatch value is indicative of an amount of temporal misalignment between an encoder-side reference channel and an encoder-side target channel. The modified IPD parameter values are applied to a decoded frequency-domain mid channel during an up-mix operation.

Abstract: A stereo parameter conditioner performs a conditioning operation on a first value of a stereo parameter and a second value of the stereo parameter to generate a conditioned value of the stereo parameter. The first value is associated with a first frequency range, and the second value is associated with a second frequency range. The conditioned value is associated with a particular frequency range that is a subset of the first frequency range or a subset of the second frequency range.

Abstract: A method of encoding audio channels includes receiving two or more channels at an encoder and identifying a target channel and a reference channel. The target channel and the reference channel are identified from the two or more channels based on a mismatch value. The method also includes generating a modified target channel by temporally adjusting the target channel based on the mismatch value. The mismatch value is indicative of an amount of temporal mismatch between the target channel and the reference channel. The method also includes determining a temporal correlation value indicative of a temporal correlation between a first signal associated with the reference channel and a second signal associated with the modified target channel. The method also includes comparing the temporal correlation value to a threshold. The method further includes generating missing target samples based on the comparison, a coder type, or both.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a receiver and a decoder. The receiver is configured to receive a bitstream that includes an encoded mid channel and a quantized value representing a shift between a reference channel associated with an encoder and a target channel associated with the encoder.

The decoder is further configured to generate a second channel based on the decoded mid channel and the quantized value. The first channel corresponds to the reference channel and the second channel corresponds to the target channel.

The decoder is further configured to generate, based on the left and right time-domain signals, left and right resampled signals that each have the output sampling rate.
