Abstract
A sound processing device includes an amplifier, a current detector, and a controller. The amplifier amplifies a sound signal to drive a loudspeaker. The current detector detects a value of an electric current flowing into the amplifier. The controller controls whether to supply power to the amplifier based on a predicted current value and the current detected by the current detector. The predicted current value is predicted in accordance with a volume setting and a level of the sound signal.
