| Mar 12, 2018 at 9:00 | comment | added | forest | @Aoi.T_015 Some may have a chip for the reasons I mentioned (equalizers, etc), but they cannot be updated over the audio cable. And they are not part of the Plug N' Play specification, but the computer can detect when the jack is inserted. Unlike PNP where the device actually communicates with the computer, this is an entirely analog process (i.e. it's detecting the fact that something is letting electricity through). | |

BTW are analog headphones plug n' play cause realtek audio manager & windows audio detects headphone when inserted, lets switch between the two | |

It's the part of the speaker that creates the actual noise. A speaker driver is classified as either a woofer, a tweeter, or a midrange. This gives a more full explanation. They are not software. | |

| Mar 12, 2018 at 8:37 | comment | added | Aoi. T_015 | what about 'speaker driver' are they hardware/software interacting installing / device detector 'drivers'? | |
