The information processing apparatus performs control such that, in a case where sound input is required in processing of an application determined in advance, in a state in which a sound signal accepted from the peripheral apparatus is cut off, the sound signal accepted from the peripheral apparatus is accepted and the sound signal is used only in the processing of the application determined in advance.
