Abstract

Provided are a sound effect processing method and device, a plug-in unit manager and a sound effect plug-in unit, which belong to the field of information technology processing. The sound effect processing method comprises: invoking a pre-loaded plug-in unit manager to acquire a sound effect processing parameter supported by each preloaded sound effect plug-in unit (101); acquiring a sound effect configuration file pre-configured by the plug-in unit manager (102); displaying sound effect index identifiers corresponding to various sound effect modes (103); according to a selected sound effect index identifier, determining a selected sound effect mode, and according to an adjustment interface, acquiring adjusted parameter control data (104); sending the adjusted parameter control data to a selected sound effect plug-in unit (105); and invoking the plug-in unit manager to send data to be processed to the selected sound effect plug-in unit, and according to the adjusted parameter control data, conducting sound effect processing on the data to be processed by the selected sound effect plug-in unit (106). By means of the present invention, data to be processed is processed by a sound effect plug-in unit according to adjusted parameter control data, so that sound effect processing is realized without installing hardware. Moreover, for different operating systems, it is not necessary to re-add codes, so that costs of the sound effect processing are reduced, and an application range of the sound effect processing is expanded. In addition, the sound effect can be modified by only modifying a sound effect configuration file, thereby increasing the efficiency of sound effect processing.
