Glitch Event

Glitch events are extremely large sample-to-sample audio amplitude transitions that have little probability of occurring within natural speech or music. Such dramatic changes would typically happen only in situations of dropped samples.

The system uses different thresholds for sample-to-sample transitions for music versus speech as shown below.

  • Speech: greater than 40 dB change from sample-to-sample
  • Music: greater than 90 dB change from sample-to-sample

The info reported with the Glitch event is listed below:

  • Info1: An integer value representing the absolute value of the sample delta. This can be converted to a change in decibels by the relationship

    dBFS equation

  • Info2: Not used.
  • Msg: Not used.
