Abstract:
1. An output control apparatus connectable to an audio output apparatus controlling output of audio data, comprising: a receiving device for receiving encoded data obtained by encoding multi-channel audio data; a decoding device for decoding the encoded data; an output control device for controlling output of a predetermined number of channels of audio data among the multi-channel audio data obtained by the decoding; a transmitting device for transmitting any one of audio data different from the audio data of which the output is controlled by the output control device among the multi-channel audio data obtained by the decoding and the encoded data to an audio output apparatus connected through an integrated cable formed by integrating at least a video line, an audio line, and a control line; a control device for controlling the audio output apparatus through the integrated cable, wherein the control device controls the audio output apparatus to adjust a sound volume of a sound corresponding to the audio data output by the audio output apparatus; and a calculating device for calculating an offset value obtained by subtracting a strength of a sound output from the output control device from a strength of a sound output from the audio output apparatus, wherein the control device adjusts the sound volume of the sound corresponding to the audio data output by the audio output apparatus based on the offset value.
