PCM audio sampling is linear, not logarithmic.

There are log sampling systems - e.g. A-law and u-law are used in telephone codecs.

But uncompressed audio formats like PCM WAV are 100% linear. (Or should be, near enough.)



Not sure why you got downvoted, since you're right. Red Book audio uses linear PCM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc_Digital_Audio#Aud...
