A procedure is suggested to translate the quality factor of a plane harmonic attenuating wave in a general anisotropic elastic medium into its phase velocity and two finite non-dimensional attenuation parameters. A chosen value of the quality factor of an attenuated wave in the dissipative medium is used to specify its complex slowness vector for a general direction of propagation. In this specification, one of the attenuation parameter identifies the component of intrinsic attenuation along the direction of propagation of wave, i.e., homogeneous propagation of wave. Another parameter represents the component of attenuation in the direction orthogonal to propagation direction. It measures the deviation from homogeneous propagation and is termed as the inhomogeneity strength of the attenuated wave. These attenuation parameters alongwith phase velocity are used to calculate the rate of decay of amplitude of the attenuated wave along any given direction in propagation-attenuation plane. Biot's theory is used to study the propagation of four attenuating waves in an anisotropic poroviscoelastic medium in the presence of initial stress. For each wave, the specification of complex slowness vector is obtained in terms of its phase velocity and two attenuation parameters. Numerical results show that the attenuation contribution from the homogeneous propagation (of any of the three faster waves) is only a little in the total attenuation of any of these attenuated waves. The effects of the changes in anisotropy-type, initial-stress, frequency, fluid-viscosity, viscous characteristic length, and anelasticity of porous frame on the attenuation are also studied. It is found that though they affect the phenomenon of wave propagation and wave characteristics, major contribution to total intrinsic attenuation comes from the inhomogeneous propagation of the attenuated wave.
