Audio processing methods and apparatus are provided. An audio processing method may include: receiving audio data packets; buffering the audio data packets to a buffer; reading the audio data packets from the buffer and playing the audio data packets; accumulating an actual total playing time length and a total sampling time length of the audio data packets that currently have been read from the buffer and have been played; and suspending reading and playing, when a sum of sampling time lengths of audio data packets that are buffered and unread in the buffer is less than or equal to a first threshold, until a sum of sampling time lengths of the audio data packets in the buffer that are unread is greater than or equal to a current network jitter estimated value.
