It doesn't read it out.
It just feeds the characters directly into your sound driver as raw data, which will play it as a cacophony of noise at max volume, with no regard for your speakers' frequency limitations.
How would I play it at 25% volume? I am inclined to try.
Pull the master slider in alsamixer. I don't think it will break anything anyway (except your ears if it's loud). Most audio outputs are AC coupled meaning they will filter out DC and very low frequency which is the most dangerous part for a speaker.
be the change you wish to see in the world
holy shit....goddammit now the intrusive thoughts are gonna make me do it, lmao
I'd be very surprised if that was able to damage your speakers. If it could, then so could any sound you play. It would have to be an exceptionally bad design if playing a youtube video could destroy your speakers.
