Hardware damage/degradation

[nonetrix]

Does anyone know how bad this is for the hardware? Can I damage my controller if the audio is load over a long period of time? Has anyone experienced that?

I would say it is a use at own risk type of thing.

I mean, technically the controller is made to be able to do it, i'm not forcing anything weirdly to make it play, it's just built-in commands i found in the firmware to play audio. And playing audio on LRA's shouldn't damage anything as long as it doesn’t go over the rated power limit of the components, which i would assume Valve do have limits placed on them, though cant be certain.

Damage that can 100% occur though is to the outer shell if you have it on a hard surface, as the vibration against the surface could cause wear and tear.
