Abstract

An apparatus for controlling depth/distance of sound and method thereof are disclosed, by which an audio signal can be outputted to correspond to a depth of an image, i.e., a disparity in displaying a stereoscopic image. The present invention includes extracting at least one object from an image, measuring a depth change value in accordance with a motion of the object within the image, and changing a depth/distance level of the sound based on the depth change value of the object.
