Abstract

A scalable decoder capable of avoiding deterioration in subjective quality of a listener. The scalable decoder for decoding core layer encoding data and extension layer encoding data including an extension layer gain coefficient, wherein a voice analysis section detects variation in power of a core layer decoding voice signal being obtained from the core layer encoding data, a gain attenuation rate calculating section (140) sets the attenuation intensity variable depending on variation in power, and a gain attenuation section (143) attenuates the extension layer gain coefficient in a second period preceding a first period according to a set attenuation intensity when extension layer encoding data in the first period is missing, thus interpolating the extension layer gain coefficient in the first period.
