Digital audio is a technology that encodes sound signals in digital form for recording and playback, as opposed to analog audio which replicates original sound waves. Digital audio became prevalent in the 1990s and 2000s after significant advances in the 1970s, replacing analog audio in many areas of audio engineering and telecommunications. Digital audio represents sound digitally by taking samples of the original wave at set intervals, unlike analog which uses a continuous range, and examples include CDs and MP3s versus vinyl and cassettes.

3. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
ANALOG AND DIGITAL AUDIO
Analog refers to audio recorded
using methods that replicate the
original sound waves.
Digital audio is recorded by taking
samples of the original sound
wave at a specified rate.
Vinyl records and cassette
tapes are examples of analog
mediums
CDs and Mp3 files are
examples of digital mediums.
Uses continuous range of
values to
represent information
Uses discrete or
discontinuous values to
represent information
