1. A method of automatically adjusting sound output, which is applicable to an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a sound player, a microphone, and an audio signal processing unit, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a sound message via a microphone;
analyzing the sound message to determine whether the sound message is a voice message, performed by the audio signal processing unit;
wherein the step of determining whether the sound message is a voice message comprises;
cutting the sound message into a plurality of sound segments, performed by the audio signal processing unit;
checking whether one of the plurality of sound segments is a vowel segment, performed by the audio signal processing unit;
if yes, determining that the sound message is a voice message, performed by the audio signal processing unit; and
If no, determining that the sound message is not a voice message, performed by the audio signal processing unit and if yes, controlling the sound player to stop playing sound or to lower the volume of the sound if the sound message is a voice message, performed by the audio signal processing unit.
