Abstract

Apparatus and methods for processing compression encoded signals are provided. In some embodiments, a signal processing method is provided that includes receiving a subband of a compression encoded signal at a subband processor, generating envelope information regarding the subband of the compression encoded signal to provide changes in the dynamic range of the compression encoded signal for fixed-point digital signal processing, processing the compression encoded signal with a fixed-point companding digital signal processor using the envelope information, and producing a processed compression encoded signal at the output of the subband processor.
