1. A terminal, wherein the terminal comprises:
a first sound element, a second sound element, a third sound element, and a left sound-emitting hole; and a right sound-emitting hole, an upper sound-emitting hole, and a lower sound-emitting hole that are disposed on four sides of the terminal;
the first sound element is separately connected to the left sound-emitting hole and the upper sound-emitting hole;
the second sound element is separately connected to the right sound-emitting hole and the upper sound-emitting hole;
the third sound element is connected to the lower sound-emitting hole;
the terminal further comprises a processor; and
when the terminal is configured to play stereo in a portrait mode, the processor controls the first sound element and the second sound element to play sound channels on different sides and emit a sound from the left sound-emitting hole and the right sound-emitting hole; or
when the terminal is configured to play stereo in a landscape mode, the processor controls at least one of the first sound element and the second sound element to play a sound channel on one side and emit a sound from at least one of the left sound-emitting hole, the right sound-emitting hole, and the upper sound-emitting hole, and the processor controls the third sound element to play a sound channel on another side.
