Abstract:
A signal processing apparatus for controlling an audio signal related to playback of sound to be performed together with playback of video that is based on a video signal is provided. The apparatus obtains information indicating a speed of the video at a point in time that is included in a playback period of the video signal, and controls, in a case where the speed of the video changes from a standard speed to a speed that differs from the standard speed at a specific point in time included in the playback period of the video signal, the audio signal based on the information obtained by the obtaining unit, such that a volume parameter for controlling a playback volume of the audio signal after the specific point in time differs from the volume parameter before the specific point in time.

Claim (Index 5):
The signal processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the control unit, in a case where the speed of the video before a first specific point in time that is included in the playback period of the video signal is the standard speed, the speed of the video after a second specific point in time that is after the first specific point in time is the standard speed, and the speed of the video in a time interval between the first specific point in time and second specific point in time is a different speed from the standard speed, controls the audio signal based on the information obtained by the obtaining unit, such that the volume parameter changes from a reference value to a value that differs from the reference value at the first specific point in time, and the volume parameter changes from the value that differs from the reference value to the reference value at the second specific point in time.
