The invention provides a communication method and a
communication device, and the communication method comprises the steps that an audio
client side sends first request information to an audio
server side, the first request information comprises a first parameter, and the first parameter is used for requesting the audio
server side to configure a first
configuration item of an audio
stream; the audio
client receives first response information from the audio
server; wherein when the first condition is met, the response of the first response information does not comprise the second parameter; when the first condition is not met, the first response information further comprises a second parameter, the second parameter is used for the audio
client to obtain a third parameter, and the third parameter is used for requesting the audio server to configure a second
configuration item of the audio
stream. Therefore, the audio server can carry or not carry the second parameter in the response information in combination with the sending condition of the request information. Therefore, the audio client can dominate the audio
stream configuration process, the compatibility problem is avoided, and the
operand and the signaling overhead of the audio server are saved.
