determining parameter control data in each of a plurality of sound effect modes corresponding to the pre-loaded sound effect plug-ins respectively, wherein the parameter control data in the respective sound effect mode is determined based on the sound effect processing parameter supported by the corresponding pre-loaded sound effect plug-in;
invoking the pre-loaded plug-in manager to obtain the plurality of sound effect processing parameters supported by the respective pre-loaded sound effect plug-ins;
obtaining a sound effect configuration file pre-configured by the pre-loaded plug-in manager, wherein the sound effect configuration file comprises the parameter control data in the plurality of sound effect modes and a plurality of sound effect index identifiers corresponding to the respective sound effect modes;
displaying the plurality of sound effect index identifiers corresponding to the respective sound effect modes, and selecting, in response to a user selection from the plurality of sound effect index identifiers, a first displayed sound effect index identifier;
determining a selected sound effect mode based on the selected sound effect index identifier, displaying an adjustment interface of the parameter control data in the selected sound effect mode, wherein a value of the parameter control data is default value corresponding to the selected sound effect mode, and obtaining adjusted parameter control data from the displayed adjustment interface;
invoking the pre-loaded plug-in manager, to select a sound effect plug-in based on the sound effect processing parameter supported by the pre-loaded sound effect plug-in corresponding to the selected sound effect mode, and sending the adjusted parameter control data to the selected sound effect plug-in;
after selecting the first sound effect index identifier and obtaining the adjusted parameter control data, receiving audio data; and
invoking the pre-loaded plug-in manager to send the received audio data to be processed to the selected sound effect plug-in, and performing, by the selected sound effect plug-in, the sound effect processing on the data to be processed based on the adjusted parameter control data.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before invoking the pre-loaded plug-in manager to configure the plurality of sound effect processing parameters supported by the plurality of pre-loaded sound effect plug-ins, the method comprises:
loading the plug-in manager and the plurality of sound effect plug-ins.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the plug-in manager is compiled to be a corresponding dynamic library file, and the plurality of sound effect plug-ins are compiled to be a corresponding dynamic library file; and
loading the plug-in manager and the plurality of sound effect plug-ins comprises:
loading the dynamic library file corresponding to the plug-in manager and the dynamic library file corresponding to the respective sound effect plug-in.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before invoking the pre-loaded plug-in manager to configure the plurality of sound effect processing parameters supported by the plurality of pre-loaded sound effect plug-ins, the method comprises:
setting the plurality of sound effect index identifiers corresponding to the respective sound effect modes;
determining the parameter control data in the respective sound effect modes and the sound effect index identifiers corresponding to the respective sound effect modes as respective configuration results to be written into the sound effect configuration file; and
storing the sound effect configuration file.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein after invoking the pre-loaded plug-in manager to determine the parameter control data in the respective sound effect modes and the sound effect index identifiers corresponding to the respective sound effect modes as the respective configuration results to be written into the sound effect configuration file, the method comprises:
updating the configuration result in the sound effect configuration file configured by the pre-loaded plug-in manager, and invoking the pre-loaded plug-in manager to store the updated sound effect configuration file.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the sound effect configuration file or an updated sound effect configuration file is stored in a memory of the pre-loaded plug-in manager.

7. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the sound effect configuration file or an updated sound effect configuration file is stored in a cloud memory.

8. A sound effect processing device, comprising a processor and a memory storing program instructions, wherein the processor performs the stored program instructions to:
invoke a pre-loaded plug-in manager to configure a plurality of sound effect processing parameters supported by a plurality of pre-loaded sound effect plug-ins respectively;
determine parameter control data in each of a plurality of sound effect modes corresponding to the pre-loaded sound effect plug-ins respectively, wherein the parameter control data in the respective sound effect mode is determined based on the sound effect processing parameter supported by the corresponding pre-loaded sound effect plug-in;
invoke the pre-loaded plug-in manager to obtain the plurality of sound effect processing parameters supported by the respective pre-loaded sound effect plug-ins;
