    Abstract: A method of interpolating a head-related transfer function (HRTF) and an audio output apparatus using the same are disclosed. The method includes receiving HRTF data corresponding to a point at which an altitude angle and an azimuth angle cross and receiving complementary information about a point at which the HRTF data is present, generating an HRTF interpolation signal corresponding to an altitude angle of a sound localization point, using HRTF data corresponding to two points constituting an altitude angle segment nearest the sound location point, calculating an amount of variation up to an azimuth angle θ of the sound localization point, using complementary information of two points constituting an azimuth angle segment nearest the sound localization point, and generating a final HRTF interpolation signal corresponding to the sound localization point by applying the amount of variation to the HRTF interpolation signal corresponding to the altitude angle of the sound localization point.

    Abstract: In an encoding section (100), a downmix section (110) forms first and second channels (L1, L2) of a downmix signal as linear combinations of first and second groups (401, 402) of channels, respectively, of an M-channel audio signal; and an analysis section (120) determines upmix parameters (αLU) for parametric reconstruction of the audio signal, and mixing parameters (αLM). In a decoding section (1200), a decorrelating section (1210) outputs a decorrelated signal (D) based on the downmix signal; and a mixing section (1220) determines mixing coefficients based on the mixing parameters or the upmix parameters, and forms a K-channel output signal ({tilde over (L)}1, . . . , {tilde over (L)}K) as a linear combination of the downmix signal and the decorrelated signal in accordance with the mixing coefficients. The channels of the output signal approximate linear combinations of K groups (501-502, 1301-1303) of channels, respectively, of the audio signal. The K groups constitute a different partition of the audio signal than the first and second groups, and 2≦K
