A sound signal processing method and apparatus are provided that relate to the audio signal processing field. The method in the present invention includes acquiring, by a mobile terminal, sound signals from a three-dimensional sound field, where at least three microphones are disposed on the mobile terminal and one microphone is configured to receive a sound signal in at least one direction; acquiring, according to the acquired sound signals, a direction of a sound source relative to the mobile terminal; and obtaining spatial audio signals according to the direction of the sound source relative to the mobile terminal and the acquired sound signals, where the spatial audio signals are used for simulating the three-dimensional sound field. The present invention is applicable to a process of collecting and processing signals in a three-dimensional sound field surrounding a terminal.
