without plugging anything external into my tower windows/the mobo is still able to play an error sound. is there like a tiny speaker built into the mobo for that purpose or am I completely retarded?

I know some lelnovo business PCs have that.

Yes some mobos have a built in buzzer, i usually rip them out or desolder them. Sometimes you can simply unplug them or remove a jumper.
Yes. Some motherboards have a small speaker that you plug in during assembly, and others have a built in piezoelectric buzzer.

He's talking about built-in speakers that play actual sounds in Windows and are detected in the device manager, not the beeper.
Mine does not beep
>>55462337
I did actually mean the beeps I just worded it like shit

cool, thanks. I actually put this thing together but I didn't see anything on the board that looked at all like a speaker. it startled me when I booted up the PC after moving and the mobo was alerting me even though no monitor/speakers/headsets were attached.
I wonder if it's just built into the back part of mobo where you normally attach the speaker externally
It's also a rape whistle, it'll go nuts if you try to rape it trust me

No, it's not. It's a cylindrical black plastic thing, about 3 cm diameter * 2-3cm height, often soldered to the motherboard, sometimes attached with two little cables to two pins on the MB, in the same way as the power button or the reset button.

They usually look something like this. Sometimes it just the cylindrical part soldered onto the board.

oh shit, at least 2 of my mobos have had those and I just never stopped to think what it was.
thanks
Fucking /v/ leaking again

I remember back in the DOS/Win 3.1 days there was a driver that could play WAV audio out of those things. Sounded like shit but it worked
>>55461499
Take a small speaker and connect it to the output of your sound card. Place it inside the case, tape it down if you must.

Some better boards have it soldered on already.
Also it's sad that this thread is probably the most /g/ related thread this week...
