A method and system are provided which allow sounds emanated by objects in a viewer-interactive, computer-generated graphic virtual world, and other virtual world sounds (e.g., a music score), to be reproduced using flexibly and automatically scheduled resources of a virtual world sound system. Sound system resources are allocated in accordance with priority values associated with sounds, sound-emanating objects or requests for sound channel allocation.
