Feedback system and associated signal processing method

An audio device is adapted to receive and process a digital audio signal and output an analog audio signal. The audio device includes an adder, a digital-to-analog conversion circuit, an amplifying circuit, a voltage detecting circuit and an offset compensating circuit. The voltage detecting circuit detects a supply voltage received by the amplifying circuit. The offset compensating circuit generates a DC offset compensation value according to the supply voltage. The adder adds the digital audio signal and the DC offset compensation value to output an added signal. The digital-to-analog conversion circuit converts the added signal into a converted analog audio signal. The amplifying circuit amplifies the converted analog signal to output an amplified analog signal. Accordingly, the audio device can reduce pop noise caused by a DC offset.
