The present disclosure provides a method for playing audio data, and belongs to the field of computer technology. The method includes: in a process of playing audio, partitioning left-channel audio data of the audio into audio data of a preset number of frequency sub-bands and partitioning right-channel audio data of the audio into audio data of the preset number of frequency sub-bands; calibrating the left-channel audio data of respective frequency sub-bands with left-channel calibration parameter values of respective frequency sub-bands to obtain left-channel audio data to be played; calibrating the right-channel audio data of respective frequency sub-bands with right-channel calibration parameter values of respective frequency sub-bands to obtain right-channel audio data to be played; and playing, over a left channel, the left-channel audio data to be played, and playing, over a right channel, the right-channel audio data to be played.
