ABSTRACT:
An audio decoder decodes audio frames included in a Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) bitstream for presentation or playing. Each audio frame includes a synchronization code and a frame header, followed by audio data. The synchronization codes are detected, and it is determined that the decoder is synchronized to the bitstream after a first predetermined number, for example three, of successive valid audio frames have been detected. It is similarly determined that the decoder is unsynchronized to the bitstream after a second predetermined number, which can also be three, of successive invalid audio frames have been detected. Each and every frame is determined to be valid if its header parameters are valid, it passes the CRC error check (optional), no syntax errors are detected and its frame length (interval) is as expected. The proper frame interval can be determined from the information in the header following each valid synchronization code, or can be determined by counting the number of bits between the first and second valid synchronization codes. The decoder can be muted while out of synchronization to minimize distortion of the audio presentation.
