The Spirit Within the Device

Today, I decided to investigate my vintage computer system for any possible issues. To my surprise, I delved into connecting a pair of speakers, which had been idle for over two decades, to the setup for some background tunes.

The unexpected occurred when musical sounds began emanating from the speakers even after I had disconnected them from the computer. Strangely, the volume seemed to improve when I touched the speaker connector or added a metal object to it. Curiously, the sound persisted even when the computer was turned off.

These speakers are of a basic variety, with a single speaker featuring an on/off switch and power cord for mains supply. Despite lacking any wireless or Bluetooth features, I found myself perplexed as to how they managed to stream music from Spotify.
