Abstract

Many researches have been developed in the field of virtual surround sound processing algorithm and gradually applied to multimedia device providing game, multi-media content, and virtual reality. To achieve virtual surround sound effect, many applications adopt head-related transfer functions (HRTFs), well known for excellent sound localization effect. This paper describes a real-time implementation of 3D sound system with the use of embedded DSP. We develop a headphone-based 3D sound algorithm by applying source localization method using HRTF. The real-time implementation is achieved using TI C67xx DSP chip. We describe hardware designs. As a result of a DSP implementation and a subjective listening test, this 3D sound system can be applied to mobile application.
