As the audio, video and related industries work toward establishing standards for subjective measures of audio/video quality, more information is needed to understand subjective audio/video interactions. This paper reports a contribution to this effort that aims to extend previous studies, which show that audio and video quality influence each other and that some audio artifacts affect overall quality more than others. In the current study, these findings are combined in a new experiment designed to reveal how individual impairments of audio affect perceived video quality. Our results show that some audio artifacts enhance the ability to identify video artifacts, while others make discrimination more difficult.
