A method includes: receiving, by using channels located in different positions of a terminal device, at least three signals emit by a same sound source; determining, according to three signals in the at least three signals, a signal delay difference between every two of the three signals; determining, according to the signal delay difference, the position of the sound source relative to the terminal device; and when the sound source is located in front of the terminal device, performing orientation enhancement processing on a target signal in the at least three signals, and obtaining a first output signal and a second output signal of the terminal device according to a result of the orientation enhancement processing, where the orientation enhancement processing is used to increase a degree of discrimination between a front characteristic frequency band and a rear characteristic frequency band of the target signal.
