How does volume work on computers? How does my computer bring the volume up or down?

Assuming you know how speakers work.
The volume adjustment works by varying how much voltage is applied to the speakers.
A computer natively uses something called an ”absolute” volume scale, where the volume slider/indicator is meaningless and decided by whoever designed it. Some systems/devices use a “relative” volume scale, where the volume changes are described in loudness (decibels).
