    Abstract: A method for processing a digital audio broadcast signal includes: separating an analog audio portion and a digital audio portion of the digital audio broadcast signal; determining the loudness of the analog audio portion and the digital audio portion over a first short time interval; using the loudness of the analog and digital audio portions to calculate a short term average gain; determining a long term average gain; converting one of the long term average gain or the short term average gain to dB; if an output has been blended to digital, adjusting a digital gain parameter by a preselected increment to produce a digital gain parameter; if an output has not been blended to digital, setting the digital gain parameter to the short term average gain; providing the digital gain parameter to an audio processor; and repeating the above steps using a second short time interval.

    Abstract: A method for processing a radio signal includes producing first and second streams of audio samples; decimating the first and second streams of audio samples to produce first and second streams of decimated streams of audio samples; estimating a first offset value between corresponding samples in the first and second streams of decimated streams of audio samples; shifting one of the first and second streams of audio samples by a first shift value; decimating the first and second streams of audio samples to produce third and fourth streams of decimated audio samples; estimating a second offset value; determining a final offset value based on an intersection of ranges of valid results of the first and second offset values; and shifting one of the first and second streams of audio samples by the final offset value to align the first and second streams of audio samples.
