Digital Audio
An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During
recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-

On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an
analog signal based on these numbers. See also “Sampling
Frequency” and “Analog Audio”.
