:Linear here refers to the step size use for encoding. An example on non-linear PCM is something encoded using [[Mu-law]]. -—[[user talk:Kvng|Kvng]] 13:47, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 
== Contributions needing work ==
 
{{u|Doorknob747}} contributed the following to the article. I'm pulling these contributions here for discussion before inclusion.
 
I'm not aware of 32-bit linear PCM in consumer applications. 32-bit floating point is a thing. Do you have a citation?
 
As for the second contribution, discussion of subjective sound quality doesn't usually lead anywhere productive. Especially so for uncited discussion. ~[[user talk:Kvng|KvnG]] 20:30, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 
:<nowiki>==Linear 32bit PCM==
There is a L32 bit PCM, and there are many sound cards that support it.
 
===Similar effects of DTS-HD master audio (192kHz DTS)===
It is said that there is no difference at all that can be heard from a Linear 32 bit PCM at a 96&nbsp;kHz sample rate playback sound to a, high quality DTS-HD Master Audio (192&nbsp;kHz DTS). They both sound the same because, of the extremely high quality sound playback from these two types of codecs. But, in reality the 192&nbsp;kHz DTS sound file has actually 1.45 times better quality than a sound file of L32 at 96&nbsp;kHz.</nowiki>
