QNX Sound: Create and control every sound in your software-defined vehicle

QNX Sound is an audio platform for software-defined vehicles, proven in production on the new Volvo EX60 enabling trim-level-specific audio from global brands Bose and Bowers & Wilkins. QNX Sound decouples audio software from hardware and unifies media, voice, ADAS alerts, sound generation, and noise control. By consolidating multiple audio trim levels into a single software stack on the main SoC, it can save OEMs $20-$100 USD per vehicle. As vehicle architectures centralize, QNX Sound makes the soundscape software-defined, accelerating development, tuning, and reuse. Open standards such as VirtIO enable portability across SoCs and models. Running in the cloud alongside QNX Hypervisor and QNX Cabin, QNX Sound streamlines validation, reduces integration complexity, accelerates time to market, and enables immersive experiences that continuously improve through software updates.
