Upto 15dB spectral difference between fixed- and floating-point output when decoding an OSBA (ISM4_HOA3) bitstream at 80kbps
# Basic info * Encoder (float): d18cbee3 (ivas-float-update) * Decoder: 074e9116 (tag: 20241023_Ittiam_Decoder_Release_subjective_Testing) Input format: ISM4_HOA3 Input level: -16LKFS Encoding bitrate: 80kbps # Bug description As seen in the following screen captures, major spectral discrepancies were observed in the frequency range from 1 to 5 kHz in the fixed- floating-point decoded output. Following plot illustrates the different spectra in channel#9. Red is fixed-point output, orange/yellow is floating point output. Time range is between 8.7 to 8.8s. ![image.png](/uploads/7bddfc07a8009ea5aa4610f9443fe2cc/image.png) # Ways to reproduce Supporting files: ...\\Box\\EXTERNAL_IVAS_BASOP_VERIFICATION\\issues\\issue-1023 Command line: ``` ./IVAS_cod_ref -no_delay_cmp -ism_sba 4 3 in_0.csv in_1.csv in_2.csv 80000 48 in_3.csv in.wav bit ./IVAS_dec -no_delay_cmp EXT 48 bit fx.wav ./IVAS_dec_ref -no_delay_cmp EXt 48 bit fl.wav ``` #
