Abstract

Provided are a method and device for audio post-processing. The method may comprise receiving, at a first processor, an audio signal, detecting, at the first processor, a plurality of post-processing modules for altering the audio signal, and creating, based on information identifying functions of the plurality of post-processing modules, an optimized acceleration module. It may further comprise sending, through the optimized acceleration module, a buffer packet of the audio signal along a single data path to a second processor and post-processing, at the second processor, the buffer packet of the audio signal through each of a plurality of associated post-processing modules that correspond to the post-processing modules on the first processor, controlling each associated post-processing module via control paths from each corresponding post-processing module, and receiving, at the first processor, a post-processed buffer packet of the audio signal via a single return data path.
