Like, my speakers go from 0 – 100. But 0-100 whats? Decibels? Or is this like a percentage of the speaker’s maximum volume? But it can’t be that because even if I turn it to 100, I can still turn the youtube slider up and make it play even louder. So what are these units?
Also, what determines the maximum? Can I just push it beyond that using some sort of coding thing?
In: Technology
It is a percentage of the full possible power.
What you seem to be confused by is when there is more than one place to adjust volume (ie on the speakers, and in you tube). Volume settings multiply. So if my volume on the speaker is set to 50%, and in YouTube it is also set to 50%, I get 25% of full volume because .5 x .5 = .25.
That’s why if you turn up the speaker to 100%, and the YouTube dial is still at 50%,you can get even louder when you turn up YouTube. Because 1 x 50% = 50% – you can still double the volume.
