Abstract
In a stereo encoding method, a channel combination encoding solution of a current frame is first obtained, and then a quantized channel combination ratio factor of the current frame and an encoding index of the quantized channel combination ratio factor are obtained based on the obtained channel combination encoding solution, so that an obtained primary channel signal and secondary channel signal of the current frame meet a characteristic of the current frame.
