Electronic device for providing audio service, and operating method thereof

A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

• receiving, in a first period, a signal of a first channel from a first external electronic device, and a signal of a second channel from a second external electronic device;
• identifying that a packet loss occurs in the first channel;
• based on identifying that the packet loss occurs in the first channel, identifying whether inter-channel similarity for the first channel and the second channel is greater than a first threshold value;
• and
• based on identifying that the inter-channel similarity is greater than the first threshold value, restoring the signal of the first channel received in the first period by applying a sound location characteristic between the first channel and the second channel to the signal of the second channel received in the first period.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing at least one instruction, wherein the at least one instruction, when executed by at least one processor, including processing circuitry, of an electronic device, individually or in any combination, causes the electronic device to perform at least one operation, comprising:

• receiving, in a first period, a signal of a first channel from a first external electronic device, and a signal of a second channel from a second external electronic device;
• identifying that a packet loss occurs in the first channel;
• based on identifying that the packet loss occurs in the first channel, identifying whether inter-channel similarity for the first channel and the second channel is greater than a first threshold value;
• and
• based on identifying that the inter-channel similarity is greater than the first threshold value, restoring the signal of the first channel received in the first period by applying a sound location characteristic between the first channel and the second channel to the signal of the second channel received in the first period.
