The invention discloses an audio / video output control method and equipment, belonging to the field of signal processing. The method comprises the following steps of: when audio / video output exists, beginning to timing; when the timing reaches a first time interval, reducing the volume of the audio / video output according to a first volume adjustment unit; and judging whether the volume of the audio / video output is less than or equal to a closed value, and closing the audio / video output if the volume of the audio / video output is less than or equal to the closed value. The equipment comprises a timing module, a volume adjusting module, a first judging module and a stop module. According to the invention, when the timing reaches the first time interval, the volume of the audio / video output is automatically reduced according to the first volume adjustment unit, and when the final volume is less than or equal to the closed value, the audio / video output is automatically closed, therefore the effects of reducing unnecessary electric quantity consumption, protecting hearing of users and improving user experience are achieved.
