      While true, an average speaker isn’t sensitive enough to get quality or understandable sound out of, and that’s assuming software can be rewritten to accept input from them.

      This isn’t a realistic privacy concern imo, but it is a novel fun fact, and if you have a 3.5mm jack you can play around with it on a PC

        Usually/some can define their inputs and outputs as needed. My PC has 2 3.5 mm hand at the back and 2 at the front, they can be configured in any way I want essentially.

      if they have an amplifier that does not work anymore, does it?

      but otherwise that’s right, and in laptop speakers this is probably not a barrier
