A device for signal processing includes a memory and a processor. The memory is configured to store a parameter associated with a bandwidth-extended audio stream. The processor is configured to select a plurality of non-linear processing functions based at least in part on a value of the parameter. The processor is also configured to generate a high-band excitation signal based on the plurality of non-linear processing functions.

A first device obtains, from the array, several audio signals and processes the audio signals to produce a speech signal and one or more ambient signals. The first device processes the ambient signals to produce a sound-object sonic descriptor that has metadata describing a sound object within an acoustic environment. The first device transmits, over a communication data link, the speech signal and the descriptor to a second electronic device that is configured to spatially reproduce the sound object using the descriptor mixed with the speech signal, to produce several mixed signals to drive several speakers.

A method for recovering audio signals, a terminal and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: buffering an audio signal sampled at a preset number of sampling points each time, and then performing frequency spectrum analysis on the sampled audio signal by FFT; when it is determined that the audio signal is compressed, filtering a frequency point; recovering high-frequency signals based on audio signals before the frequency point; and performing phase recovery on the high-frequency signals. Thus, compressed high-frequency signals in the audio signals may be recovered.
