Case Speaker

Computer

Although the click able image does not look like a speaker to me either, ;-) I will at least use it to explain the function of the case speaker, which is not visible. According to the motherboard specifications for this board, this is an optional speaker, which hopefully no one will be silly enough to buy! :-) Seriously though, most cases come with a case speaker.

The case speaker is usually located behind the front panel and is only used for computer warning beeps, or an occasional generic sound from a program. You rarely ever even hear the case speaker, and can sometimes bypass it through your regular, "good" speakers. The sound card I use allows you to connect the computer's case speaker output wires to it, so that it plays the beeps, and makes the case speaker obsolete. There is nothing wrong with using the case speaker; although, the regular speakers are able to handle more wattage, but you really don't need it for the beeps.
