        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

        Two questions:

        1. Does my soundcard have an ADC wired (directly) to my speakers?
        2. If yes: Why?

          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
