Method for transmitting an audio signal from a transmitter to a receiver, in which - at the transmitter end, an input signal corresponding to the audio signal is divided into a number of frequency channels for a particular time window, - at the transmitter end, a current channel value is allocated to each frequency channel, wherein the current channel value is an amplitude and/or a phase or a signal level, - at the transmitter end, a number of prognostic values is generated by means of preceding channel values which are allocated to a time window preceding in time, one of the prognostic values being allocated to each current channel value, - at the transmitter end, a reference value is determined, - at the transmitter end, a gain factor determined by means of the reference value is allocated to one of the prognostic values and the current channel value allocated to this prognostic value is modified by means of the gain factor to form an adapted channel value, - at the transmitter end, the adapted channel value is allocated to an adapted data record such that said data record has the adapted channel value, wherein the adapted data record has exactly as many values as current channel values are present, - a transmission value corresponding to the adapted data record is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver, - at the receiver end, a reconstructed adapted data record with a reconstructed adapted channel value which corresponds to the adapted channel value is generated by means of the transmission value, - at the receiver end, a number of receiver-end prognostic values is generated by means of reconstructed preceding channel values, one of the receiver-end prognostic values being allocated to the reconstructed adapted channel value, - at the receiver end, a reference value is determined, - at the receiver end, a receiver-end gain factor is allocated to the reconstructed adapted channel value by means of the allocated receiver-end prognostic value, - at the receiver end, the reconstructed adapted channel value is modified by means of the receiver-end gain factor to form a reconstructed channel value, and - at the receiver end, the reconstructed channel value is added to a reconstructed output signal, wherein the gain factor and the receiver-end gain factor are generated by means of the prognostic value to which the gain factor is allocated and, respectively, by means of the receiver-end prognostic value which is allocated to the reconstructed adapted channel value, and wherein the gain factor is generated by means of the difference between the reference value and the prognostic value. - at the transmitter end, an input signal corresponding to the audio signal is divided into a number of frequency channels for a particular time window, - at the transmitter end, a current channel value is allocated to each frequency channel, wherein the current channel value is an amplitude and/or a phase or a signal level, - at the transmitter end, a number of prognostic values is generated by means of preceding channel values which are allocated to a time window preceding in time, one of the prognostic values being allocated to each current channel value, - at the transmitter end, a reference value is determined, - at the transmitter end, a gain factor determined by means of the reference value is allocated to one of the prognostic values and the current channel value allocated to this prognostic value is modified by means of the gain factor to form an adapted channel value, - at the transmitter end, the adapted channel value is allocated to an adapted data record such that said data record has the adapted channel value, wherein the adapted data record has exactly as many values as current channel values are present, - a transmission value corresponding to the adapted data record is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver, - at the receiver end, a reconstructed adapted data record with a reconstructed adapted channel value which corresponds to the adapted channel value is generated by means of the transmission value, - at the receiver end, a number of receiver-end prognostic values is generated by means of reconstructed preceding channel values, one of the receiver-end prognostic values being allocated to the reconstructed adapted channel value, - at the receiver end, a reference value is determined, - at the receiver end, a receiver-end gain factor is allocated to the reconstructed adapted channel value by means of the allocated receiver-end prognostic value, - at the receiver end, the reconstructed adapted channel value is modified by means of the receiver-end gain factor to form a reconstructed channel value, and - at the receiver end, the reconstructed channel value is added to a reconstructed output signal, wherein
