8. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a first display screen and a second display screen, the first display screen and the second display screen being disposed facing away from each other;
a first sound output hole and a second sound output hole which are strip-shaped, the first sound output hole being disposed at a top edge of the first display screen, and the second sound output hole being disposed at a top edge of the second display screen;
at least two phone receivers comprising a first phone receiver and a second phone receiver; and
a photosensitive module, located between the first phone receiver and the second phone receiver;
wherein the first phone receiver is disposed adjacently to a first end of the first sound output hole and a first end of the second sound output hole, and the second phone receiver is disposed adjacently to a second end of the first sound output hole and a second end of the second sound output hole; and
the first sound output hole is connected to the first phone receiver and the second phone receiver by corresponding sound conduction channels, and the second sound output hole is connected to the first phone receiver and the second phone receiver by corresponding sound conduction channels, the first sound output hole and the second sound output hole share the first receiver and the second receiver;
a baffle is disposed on each of the sound conduction channels connected to the first sound output hole, and a baffle is disposed on each of the sound conduction channels connected to the second sound output hole, to cause each sound conduction channel to be opened or closed separately;
wherein the mobile terminal further comprises a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, a sound output control method is implemented, and the method comprises:
monitoring a current working state of the mobile terminal; and
in a case of detecting that the current working state meets a preset condition for enabling sound output of the at least two phone receivers, determining a target phone receiver from the at least two phone receivers, comprising:
determining a display screen close to a user's ear as a target display screen; and
determining at least one target phone receiver from the at least two phone receivers based on the target display screen and a holding posture of the mobile terminal; and
controlling the at least one target phone receiver to enable a sound output function, wherein the current working state comprises a preset event start state;
wherein in accordance with a determination that the first phone receiver and the second phone receiver are the at least one target phone receiver, the controlling the at least one target phone receiver to enable a sound output function comprises:
controlling both the first phone receiver and the second phone receiver to enable the sound output function, and reducing output volume of the first phone receiver and output volume of the second phone receiver.
