I got vlc player on my desktop but I heared if you use VLC on laptops it damages their speakers so my question if I got VLC on my Android would it damage it's speakers too? As far as I know VLC for Android is still in beta stage
 


Idk if you want the link to VLC apk or about what people say about it damaging laptop speakers
 
Damaging laptop speakers.

I know you can set it to boost the volume above 100%, which could cause trouble if your speakers can't handle that. But you can blow out the speakers on any system if you try.
 
I googled "vlc damage"

It is a case of crappy speakers + turning the volume up too much. Throw in a clueless HP rep, and there we have it.

It is not VLC.
 


Even if my speakers are 5.1 or 7.1 ???
 


5.1 or 7.1 is irrelevant.
Crap or NotCrap is the deciding factor.
 


I don't have have Hp I prefer Dell xps or Alienware or Assembled pcs I know hp been having problem since 3 or 4 years & I guess that's why VLC makers lowered the volume from 400 percent to 200
 


So you're saying the brand matters cause a cheap brand will usually consist of cheap / weak components

 


Built in speakers suck period , I've external speakers but I don't use them I prefer my Alienware tactx headset
