Abstract
A two-stage distortion limiter and method for limiting distortion in a sound signal, for example an output sound signal synthesis from a sound signal decoder. In a first stage, a level detector detects an amplitude value of the sound signal and computes a control gain using the detected amplitude value, and an attenuator reduces the level of the sound signal using the control gain. In a second stage, a saturation detector detects saturation in the sound signal and updates the control gain in response to detection of saturation.
