(54) Title: NON-HARMONIC SPEECH DETECTION AND BANDWIDTH EXTENSION IN A MULTI-SOURCE ENVIRON- = MENT FIG. 1 M Sound Source152 (57) : A device includes a multi-channel encoder configured to receive a first audio signal and a second audio signal, to perform a downmix operation on the first audio signal and the second audio signal to generate a mid signal, to generate a low-band mid signal and a high-band mid signal based on the mid signal, and to determine, based at least partially on a low band voicing value corresponding to the low band signal and a gain value corresponding to the high-band mid signal, a value of a multi-source flag that 00 flag associated with the high-band mid signal. The multi-channel encoder is configured to generate a high-band mid excitation signal O based on the multi-source flag and to generate a bitstream based on the high-band mid excitation signal. The device also includes a transmitter configured to transmit the bitstream and the multi-source flag to a second device.
