Without more info it's hard to tell what's going on. Could be you don't have proper video drivers and the CPU is gearing up to decode the video, could be something as simple as you're using Ubuntu with snaps and so regular applications just take forever to load. Gonna need more info.

What was the most disturbing thing you've found on the dark web?

>>107792748
This was back in 2021 long before genAI. I was using a darknet search engine and I entered "Luke Smith" for shits and giggles I saw a webpage with a link named elite_computing_webstream.m3u8 - the truth about the Linux community

so I ran
torify mpv http:/www.fakedomainsomethinglong392939324908324.onion/elite_computing_webstream.m3u8


and the video started playing

It started off with Luke Smith talking about Arch Linux configs to avoid bloat and optimize minimalism, He was seen sipping a white monster energy drink and all of a sudden Luke wasn't in his backyard in Florida anymore but in a ice covered valley and the land surface he was standing on had platforms made of gems and wooly mammoths were walking in the distance. Then the video showed Luke Smith with a super wide grin flowing blond hair and piercing electrical blue eyes. Then the video cut to Terry Davis still and and submerged inside a giant tube of liquid with all sorts of medical stuff hooked up to him. Then the video cut to a tall thin black man dressed in tolga like robes with an enormous head who looked exactly like Kenny (Mental Outlaw) then the video starting flashing pics of Torvalds, Lenart Potering, Stallman and all sorts of popular Linux users with the same grins, blonde hair and electrical eyes as Luke and then back to big head Kenny smirking and dancing in absurd way. There was techno music blaring the whole time starting when Luke ingested the white monster energy drink. The video ended showing what appeared to be a drone taken birds eye view of this artic snowy crystal world

I have no idea what the fuck I saw. Maybe Monster Energy's CEO is a secret fan of the FOSS community.

Not really the "dark web" but there was alot of CP on the early days of malicious filesharing networks like Limewire and other stuff

You didn't know it was CP until it finished downloading

I still remember all the CP tags to avoid them. It wasn't easier to get CP than back in those days

I don't know about the dark web but I remember trailing searches after searches and ending up on the wrong side of the internet. Cartel executions, docking, bestiality, chickens, liveleaks and all that stuff. The creepier ones I remember were of corpse recoveries like a woman being craned out of the water from a car accident and being permanently frozen in the sitting position of the car. Other weird things were a service that took portraits of families with miscarried babies posing as real babies and the look of fear on a little boy's face with the little pink fetus in a suit being held next to him with the rest of the family smiling and the worst which are the abortion videos..

I'm trying to make sense of my earlier drunk shitpost and your serious reply to it and I think what I meant by "upsampling to make it more smooth" is basically dithering in the video you linked.
>>
>>107818605
>mental illness or non-working software
>>
>>107818654
You need dithering when you decrease bit depth to preserve the audio content from the lost bits. Simply adding dithering to a file will just raise the noise floor. You will need dithering if you're converting from PCM to DSD but it won't make it smoother, it will make it the same as PCM. When audiophile say oversampling makes things smoother they usually mean it makes the digital "stairsteps" smaller. But there aren't any stairsteps. And regarding the original question of playing audio without a DAC, that's how original sound cards worked, the CPU was just toggling pins really fast. 1 pin on zx spectrum(basically DSD) and multiple pins on PCs with parallel port(R2R). There's also such a thing as powerdac, where the transistors of a DAC are powerful enough to drive things without an amp.
>>
Is there anything like the ATH M50x with a detachable cable and a similar sound profile?
I've gone through two of them with their shitty cables turning rock hard and dying

No all you need is Homebrew if you want to install stuff to your Mac outside of the App Store. Stuff gets installed under your user so it doesn't need special permissions, even on a local account.

something weird happened

>>107820771
it was windows being fucky, i restarted the audio service as a last resort. i had to write a script that does it because some arcade games will completely lock the volume to a set level and the volume controls won't do anything until you restart the service. all the other times the volume got locked to fucking deafening levels so i didn't immediately think this would solve it.
