LPCM
Linear pulse-code modulation (LPCM) is a method of converting an analog audio signal into a digital representation by sampling the signal at regular intervals and quantizing each sample with a fixed number of bits using a linear quantization scale. In LPCM, the quantization levels are evenly spaced, meaning the full-scale range is divided into equally sized steps. This is in contrast to companded forms such as mu-law or A-law.
Common bit depths include 16, 24, or 32 bits per sample, and common sampling rates include 44.1
Use cases include compact discs (CDs) with 16-bit/44.1 kHz PCM, digital video and cinema, Blu-ray discs, DVDs,
Advantages of LPCM include simple decoding, broad compatibility, and high fidelity when paired with adequate bit
