As someone caught out by this, most of us had speakers and windows had volume controls as well. They’re kinda useless to have super low volume, so the tendency was to turn the speakers up and have windows control it. (what could go wrong? mine was always set low in windows, this was before lots of ads on browsers would randomly come on too) Fortunately everyone thought it was the guy in the cubicle next to me, with about 10-15 heads popping out of cubicles in our direction.
And for what it’s worth the audio clip finished with an enthusiastic “YEE HAW”
Right it was like those jumps scare sites where it would play something very quietly so you’d turn up the volume, then they would announce the porn at full volume. It was a gag site/video file, not a virus.
I call bullshit. In the 90s you had to turn a phisical wheel to increase the volume of the computer.
I still can, rocking the Logitech Z5500s that I bought close to 20 years ago now. Absolutely the Pinnacle of PC speakers.
