Abstract

The present disclosure provides for systems and methods for resolving discontinuities in audio data. The systems and methods include receiving, by a receiving device, a sequence of audio data blocks that has at least one missing. A repeat buffer of the receiving device buffers each audio data block in order according to the sequence. The receiving device resolves the discontinuity by accessing in the repeat buffer a previous audio data block preceding the at least one discontinuity, flipping the time indices of the previous audio data block, determining a slope of the audio data and flipping the slope to generate a vertically and horizontally flipped audio data block. The vertically and horizontally flipped audio data block is filtered using a glitch filter and crossfaded into the previous audio data block to produce output audio data that conceals the at least one missing block.
