Abstract
An audio-signal processing device includes a decoding unit that decodes a compressed audio stream to obtain audio signals for a predetermined number of channels; a signal processing unit that generates 2-channel audio signals including left-channel audio signals and right-channel audio signals, on the basis of the predetermined-number-of-channels audio signals; and a coefficient setting unit that sets filter coefficients corresponding to the impulse responses for the digital filters, on the basis of format information of the compressed audio stream. The signal processing unit uses digital filters to convolve impulse responses for paths from sound-source positions of the channels to the left and right ears of a listener with the corresponding predetermined-number-of-channels audio signals and adds corresponding results of the convolutions for the channels to generate the left-channel audio signals and the right-channel audio signals.
