An audio device includes a signal processor that processes an audio signal based on a predetermined parameter, a level adjuster that adjusts a level of the audio signal, a speaker that receives the audio signal and outputs sound, an interface that receives an instruction to switch the parameter, and a controller that decreases gain of the level adjuster when receiving the instruction to switch the parameter, and then performs gain control to increase the gain of the level adjuster so that a change amount of the gain of the level adjuster for a predetermined period of time is less than or equal to a predetermined value.
