I’ve scrolled past this meme countless times, but somehow I didn’t think of this before now: What does an S-video signal sound like?Anyone have the hardware to test it out and record the sound for me?

I’ve opened serial terminals to serial mice, and I’ve abused /dev/dsp with random binaries I’ve fancied at the moment, but it never dawned on me to plug the red RCA jack into the yellow port in the mame of science, and now I only have audio RCA…

S-video was a mini DIN connector which wouldn’t have fit into one of these RCA jacks.

If you’d put composite video (the yellow RCA cable in this setup) into one of the audio jacks, pretty much all TVs would not do anything with it as an incompatible signal. If they actually tried to turn it into something, it wouldn’t be audible. Composite video generates a signal at something like 5-10Mhz, human hearing tops out around 20Khz (250-500x lower)
