Abstract
Audio encoding and decoding methods and apparatuses are disclosed, to reduce an amount of encoded and decoded data, so as to improve encoding and decoding efficiency. The method includes: selecting a first target virtual speaker from a preset virtual speaker set based on a first scene audio signal; generating a first virtual speaker signal based on the first scene audio signal and attribute information of the first target virtual speaker; obtaining a second scene audio signal using the attribute information of the first target virtual speaker and the first virtual speaker signal; generating a residual signal based on the first scene audio signal and the second scene audio signal; and encoding the first virtual speaker signal and the residual signal, to produce encoded signals, and writing the encoded signals into a bitstream.
