QNX and Haleytek Join Forces to Deliver Software-Defined Audio for Volvo Cars EX60 EV SUV
Summary
QNX and Haleytek are delivering a fully centralized Software-Defined Audio (SDA) architecture for Volvo Cars' EX60 EV, which debuts on the new SPA3 infotainment platform. The implementation uses QNX Sound and the OASIS VirtIO Sound standard to move audio processing from DSP-enabled amplifiers to a centralized SoC, unifying voice, media playback, alerts, and noise control into one software platform. This software-first approach gives automakers faster feature deployment, greater flexibility for over-the-air enhancements, and potential hardware cost savings of $22–$98 per vehicle depending on system complexity. The deployment supports Volvo's Superset tech stack strategy to migrate more in-vehicle capabilities to software and creates a model other automakers can follow.
