We propose a new approach for optimization in digital audio watermarking using genetic algorithm. The watermarks are embedded into the low frequency coefficients in discrete multiwavelet transform domain. The embedding technique is based on quantization process which does not require the original audio signal in the watermark extraction. We have developed an optimization technique using the genetic algorithm to search for four optimal quantization steps in order to improve both quality of watermarked audio and robustness of the watermark. In addition we analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm in terms of signal-to-noise ratio normalized correlation and bit error rate. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can achieve a good robustness against most of the attacks which were included in this study. 1. Introduction During the past few years digital multimedia technology and Internet networks have made great progress and they are now becoming increasingly important in daily life. Consequently intellectual property protection is a pressing concern for content owners who are exhibiting digital .
