Embodied Audio-Visual Navigation (AVN) requires an agent to locate sound targets by jointly leveraging visual and auditory cues. While prior work has achieved notable success with static sound sources, real-world scenarios often involve moving targets, giving rise to the more challenging problem of \textbf{Dynamic Audio-Visual Navigation (D-AVN)}. Existing approaches largely rely on semantic auditory features, which limits generalization to unheard sound categories and hinders fine-grained spatial reasoning. To address these challenges, we propose a novel \textbf{Two-Stage Multi-modal Learning} framework for D-AVN. In the Physical Alignment stage, the proposed \textbf{Intensity-Calibrated Geometry Encoder (ICGE)} performs physics-informed alignment of sound intensity with visual geometry to capture category-agnostic spatial correspondence. In the Scene Aggregation stage, a Transformer-based \textbf{Cross-Modal Scene Aggregator (CMSA)} dynamically integrates multi-modal features to construct a robust state representation for policy learning. Extensive experiments on Replica and Matterport3D demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art success rates, while significantly improving generalization and navigation efficiency in complex environments and under unheard sound scenarios.
