A driving method for a spindle motor and associated driving system and apparatus are provided. The driving method includes the following steps. Plural modulation signals and plural floating phases corresponding to the plural modulation signals are adjusted. A floating period comes immediately after an active period of each of the plural modulation signals according to the plural floating phases. During the floating period, a demagnetization time of the spindle motor is acquired according to a first terminal voltage signal at a first terminal of the spindle motor. If the demagnetization time is not smaller than the threshold time period, the step of adjusting the plural modulation signals is repeatedly done. Whereas, if the demagnetization time is smaller than the threshold time period, after the demagnetization time, a phase of the spindle motor is obtained according to the first terminal voltage signal.
