Haven’t checked my low level sound drivers in a long time - I’m using pipewire and wireplumber to control it all. Is ALSA still there at the bottom/as a dependency? Arch btw.
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.
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.
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.
oh yeah, THAT line…trust me i know a MUCH more damaging one liner than the “remove french” one. it send an email from you to the secret service
How about one that can damage your speakers and your ears, without root access?

Probably not in most systems but mine still has it. Slackware btw.
so that reads out every single filepath on your computer at max volume? yeah, no thanks

How would I play it at 25% volume? I am inclined to try.

No it interprets the list of filenames as raw sound data which basically makes random noise maybe with a few bleeps when there are patterns
I’m into this genre.
