This paper presents an improvement of spread spectrum audio data hiding methods. We introduce phase shifting in audio signals to reduce the correlation with PN signal per each sub-band. It allows easy detection of the embedded data signal from audio when de-spreading the compound signal. The paper reports the subjective test results and the measurements of noise resiliency. The proposed method generates the quality degradation at the same level of NMR +3dB, but accests +6dB noise, therefore, the method has 3dB benefits.
