This is an audio file format, and with it, you can store an audio bitstream on the system. WAV: It is developed by IBM and Microsoft. This format supports many audio encoding formats. But, now, the header has six unsigned 32-bit words and the data in big-endian format. Initially, the format was headerless and was able to encode 8-bit data at an 8000 Hz sample rate. This format was developed by the Audio Engineering Society (AES) and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).Īu file: This file format is the simple audio file discovered by Sun Microsystems. It is interesting to note that the AES3 can carry two channels of PCM signals or audio over various transmission media such as unbalanced lines, optical fiber, and more.
Here is the detailed explanation of LPCM audio formats:ĪES3: AES3 is used to exchange digital audio signals between various audio devices. Note that LPCM is also a part of the DVD and Blue-Ray sound as well as video recording standards. LPCM audio formats include WAV, AC3 AES3, Au file format, raw audio, and MPEG-audio. There are various audio formats that occur as a result of the LPCM encoding method. Further, the lossless HD versions come from higher resolution videos and audio. The sound of the LPCM soundtrack is as good as of Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD-Master Audio. But, it is very common for stereo (2.0) or 5.1 surround sound. This sound technique supports around eight channels of audio and can provide encoding for 7.1 soundtracks. However, it's one disadvantage that it takes a lot of space. Being uncompressed audio format, there is no loss in sound quality on the disc with the LPMC technique. It is a standard for all CD and DVD technology.
LPCM audio is uncompressed audio signals and is also known as PCM.
