1. A signal processing system, comprising:
a plurality of signal output devices;
a signal input device; and
a control device, wherein the control device:
registers a first signal path for a first signal output device;
establishes a first connection with a second signal output device;
receives, while processing data received from the second signal output device, a notification from the first signal output device to change the first signal path;
transmits a rejection response to the first signal output device; and
continues receiving the data from the second signal output device.
