Simple soundwaves (sinewaves) of various frequencies add up to a single complex waveform. A single guitar note, for example, is a complex.waveform made up of various simple waves of different frecuencies. This is the Fourier theorem.
So a speaker reproduces a single waveform, which is the sum of all the frequencies of whatever it is playing.
