The invention discloses an audio spread spectrum watermark processing method for protecting the audio data, comprising two processes: a watermark embedding process and a watermark extraction process; in the embedding process, a wavelet de-noising technique is used for separating the noise of the signal and noise intensity control factor is used for reducing the noise signal intensity, and the effect of the noise of the signal on the detector performance is reduced; in order to improve the performance of the detector, the wavelet de-noising technique is also used in the water extraction process; in order to overcome the problem of excessively large correlation sliding detection calculation quantity in the corresponding detection, a synchronous positioning mechanism is designed. The algorithm is applicable to music and speech, which can effectively resist the attack of normal signal processing, more particularly, the attack of DA/AD conversion, thus being applied to the fields such as audio copyright protection, temper-proofing, certification, etc.
