Esp32s3 dc offset and sound level detection

Hi guys, i previously asked about static on my audio but I believe it was due to the dc offset mechanism I tried and moved on to hpf which worked better but the audio still isn't as clear as I would like.  I'm trying to get the esp32 s3 to be able to detect sounds at loud levels but because of the type of mic it has I need to give it a dc offset (unless I dont). So my question is, is there a way that I can created a dc offset so it won't interfere with the audio I'm streaming? Or even better is there a way that I can detect sound levels without doing a dc offset altogether?  I'm not trying to add any other boards or modules to my project for this specific function so if any of yall are able to give any suggestions on clearing the audio issue while making sound level detection possible that would be great. Also I don't have the code to post atm but any suggestions would still help ill try to add the code another time if needed.
