Abstract: An audio device comprises a processor, an audio processing module, a high frequency noise generating circuit, a first switch control circuit, a second switch control circuit, a low pass filter circuit and an adder circuit. The audio device generates a watermark data, an original audio signal and a high frequency noise signal. The high frequency noise signal pass through a first switch control circuit and a second switch control circuit according to watermark data. A low pass filter circuit filters the high frequency noise signal received from the first switch control circuit to form a first add data. An adder circuit receives the first add data from the low pass filter circuit, receives the high frequency noise signal from the second switch control circuit as a second add data, and adds the first add data and the second add data to the original audio signal.
