The paper deals with the hitherto neglected topic of audio dequantization. It reviews the state-of-the-art sparsity-based approaches and proposes several new methods. Convex as well as non-convex approaches are included, and all the presented formulations come in both the synthesis and analysis variants. In the experiments the methods are evaluated using the signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR) and PEMO-Q, a perceptually motivated metric.
