Zoom in and play out, because the frequency characteristics of the amplifier circuit are different, so the frequency characteristics can be taken into account when calculating the sound level, and the different weighted attenuation coefficients corresponding to different frequencies can be corrected. The specific method can be the audio amplifier circuit. The digital audio amplitude-frequency characteristic curve before the input and the amplified digital audio amplitude-frequency characteristic curve are sampled and tested, and the difference is obtained, and the linear difference ratio of the sampling points is obtained to correct the weighted attenuation coefficient.

In a specific embodiment, since the human ear has different sensitivity to the sound at each frequency, in order to adjust the program volume to the lowest impact on the human ear, different processing can be performed according to the audio data of different frequencies to reduce the program. The effect of volume on the human ear. Therefore, the digital sampling of the T1 duration can divide the audio frequency into multiple frequency bands according to the audio frequency range that the human ear can perceive and the sensitivity of the human ear to the audio frequency, and use different sampling rates according to different frequency bands to the T1 duration. The audio data is digitally sampled.

The sampling method used in the present embodiment to perform digital sampling of the T1 duration is to perform digital sampling of a T1 duration.

Specifically, the division of the audio frequency and the corresponding sampling frequency can be referred to the following table. Frequency (Hz) <31.5 <63 <125 <250 <500 <1000 <2000 <4000 4000 The minimum sampling rate above 63 125 250 500 1000 2000 4000 8000 16000

S304: Calculate, according to the acoustic sound value corresponding to the digital sample information of the T1 duration and the loudness value preset by the user, a volume gain coefficient corresponding to the digital sample information of the T1 duration.

The preset loudness value of the user is used by the laboratory to test standard loudness data corresponding to different volume levels through a standard audio signal and stored in a database of the digital television terminal in advance, for example, the volume 23 sound corresponds to a standard loudness data, and the volume 24 sounds correspond to another standard data. Different volume levels correspond to different standard loudness data. Different users choose different loudness to choose their own loudness.

Optionally, the volume gain coefficient may be a quotient of the sound loudness value and a loudness value preset by the user. The calculated volume gain coefficient corresponding to the digital sampling information of the T1 duration is a volume gain coefficient of the original audio data of the T1 duration corresponding to the digital sampling information of the target channel T1 duration.

In a specific embodiment, the original audio data of the T1 duration corresponding to the data sampling information of the T1 duration of the adjustment target channel is obtained by dividing the amplitude of the whole original audio data of the T1 duration according to the volume gain coefficient or separately adjusting the original audio data of the T1 duration. The adjusted T1 duration audio data formed by the amplitude of the audio data of each frequency band and the audio data of each frequency band is formed, wherein the adjusted audio data amplitude can be the quotient of the original audio data amplitude and the volume gain coefficient. .

Further, optionally, the original audio data of the T1 duration corresponding to the digital sampling information of the T1 duration of the target channel is adjusted according to a volume gain coefficient corresponding to the digital sampling information of the T1 duration calculated in step S304. For example, in practical applications, if the digital television terminal switches to play the Shenzhen Wei video channel, the volume gain coefficient corresponding to the digital sampling information of the Shenzhen Satellite TV T1 duration is calculated according to step S304, and the T1 of the Shenzhen Wei video channel is adjusted according to the volume gain coefficient. The digital audio sampling information corresponding to the duration of the T1 duration of the original audio data, and then in the next T1 time, the digital television terminal again calculates the next volume gain coefficient corresponding to the digital sampling information of the next T1 duration of Shenzhen Satellite TV according to step S304, according to this The next volume gain coefficient corresponding to the digital sampling information of the next T1 duration adjusts the original audio data of the T1 duration corresponding to the digital sampling information of the next T1 duration of the Shenzhen TV channel, and thus adjusts the T1 duration as the adjustment period until the user Switch to other channels or shut down to stop the adjustment, this adjustment method can effectively solve the difference in the volume of different programs on the same channel, for example: the difference in volume between TV dramas and interstitial ads.

Optionally, in order to reduce the unsmoothness between two sampling periods, there may be an overlap of T2 times in two adjacent adjustment periods T1, where T2<T1.
