The feedback suppression concept achieves an effective feedback suppression without a loss in audio quality in particular without detracting from the artistic work of an artist.

The invention relates to a method for embedding a watermark in an audio signal, according to which a spectral representation of the audio signal and a spectral representation of the watermark signal are first determined (14, 16). The spectral representation of the watermark signal is then processed, based on a psychoacoustic masking threshold (24) of the audio signal (22). The processed watermark signal is combined with the audio signal (18), to obtain an audio signal furnished with a watermark. The spectral representation of the watermark signal is processed iteratively in the following way: a predetermined watermark initial value (26) is first selected; the interference that has been introduced into the spectral representation by the predetermined watermark initial value after a quantization of the spectral representation of the audio signal, is determined (28). If the interference introduced by the watermark initial value is greater than the predetermined interference threshold (32), the watermark initial value is then modified until said interference introduced into the spectral representation of the audio signal by a modified watermark initial value after quantization, is less than or equal to the predetermined interference threshold. The modified watermark initial value that is obtained at the end of the iteration is used as a processed watermark signal to be combined with the audio signal. It is therefore no longer possible to weaken or remove a watermark by quantization. The invention provides complete control over the energy of the watermark, in order to ensure that a watermark is embedded into an audio signal with either the best possible degree of detectability or the best possible audio quality.

According to the inventive method for inserting information into an audio signal, a time multiplex method is combined with a code multiplex method in order to preprocess the information which is to be inserted into the audio signal. During a time multiplex method, a spreading is carried out (22, 24) with two different data sequences in order to be able to distinguish a first time slot from additional time slots. The code multiplex channels are added (26) and weighted (26, 28, 30, 32) while taking into account a psychoacoustic masking threshold of the audio signal, whereupon the weighted code multiplex signal is combined (34) with the audio signal. The time slot of the information channel is used while detecting the information that is inserted into the audio signal in order to synchronize the second information channel which had been spread with a data sequence differing from the data sequence for the other time slots. This results in the provision of a very reliable data transmission in a first information channel as well as the provision of a data transmission with a high transmission rate in the second transmission channel.

In a coding process and a coder for inserting an inaudible data signal into an audio signal, the audio signal is first converted into a spectrum range and the masking threshold of the audio signal is determined. A pseudo-noise signal and a data signal are prepared and multiplied together to provide a frequency-spread data signal. The spread data signal is weighted by the masking threshold and then the audio signal and the weighted data signal are superimposed. In a process and a decoder for decoding an inaudible data signal inserted into an audio signal, first of all the audio signal is sampled and then the scanned audio signal is non-recursively filtered. Thereupon the filtered audio signal is compared with a threshold in order to re-obtain the data signal.

The invention relates to a device, which is provided for determining a pulse response in an environment, inside of which a loudspeaker (10) and a microphone (12) are placed, and which operates while using an audio signal. A device (20) for effecting the spectral coloring of a test signal, which is preferably a pseudo noise signal, operates while using a psychoacoustic masking threshold of the audio signal in order to obtain a colored test signal that is embedded in the audio signal in order to obtain a measurement signal that can be fed to the loudspeaker (10). A device (30, 32) for determining the pulse response preferably carries out a cross-correlation of a reaction signal, which is received from the environment via the microphone, and of the test signal or of the colored test signal. This enables a pulse response of an environment to be determined even while playing an audio piece in order to provide an optimal description of the environment for a wavefield synthesis.

An inventive method for introducing information into a data stream including data about spectral values representing a short-term spectrum of an audio signal first performs a processing of the data stream to obtain the spectral values of the short-term spectrum of the audio signal. Apart from that, the information to be introduced are combined with a spread sequence to obtain a spread information signal, whereupon a spectral representation of the spread information is generated which will then be weighted with an established psychoacoustic maskable noise energy to generate a weighted information signal, wherein the energy of the introduced information is substantially equal to or below the psychoacoustic masking threshold. The weighted information signal and the spectral values of the short-term spectrum of the audio signal will then be summed and afterwards processed again to obtain a processed data stream including both audio information and information to be introduced. By the fact that the information to be introduced are introduced into the data stream without changing to the time domain, the block rastering underlying the short-term spectrum will not be touched, so that introducing a watermark will not lead to tandem encoding effects.
