What's so amazing about a tiny 8 ohm speaker?

You are lucky you got the piezo speaker at all. Antec cases haven't come with speakers for years. They will mail you one of those piezos that you don't like.

If you have a temp alarm on the mobo, you need the speaker. I don't find speakers all that useful in POST.

I hade some of those, threw it away one day... Did not expect to need those, but of course one should NEVER throw anything aways, like keeping your 10o year old RF gear? Oh well.

I use the PC speaker in the xipo satellite positioner software I wrote, as 'beep' for dish alignment. Then later I also added a sound card beep. PC speaker is a very useful thing. You do not want beeps from apps to go through the mixer if you are processing auido at that time. It is just very strange they leave the speaker out in new PCs.

Not at all. It is 2 cants worth in a very low margin business.

The original scheme was to use a 8 ohm speaker (size anywhere from 2" to 8") between 1,4 on MB connector; 5V pulses from MB would drive speaker and MSBASIC "SOUND" command or at DOS Ctrl-G would echo a sound. Also, on older computers, beeps could eminate during POST indicating what failed. Bigger speakers were louder (ie: bigger than a dinky 1" or 2" el-cheapo).

Reason: It is all about M$ "bigger, better,faster" OSes..

Right. I use Linux rxvt (or xterm) all the time for software development, and ctrl G now works :-) rxvt is sort of a terminal for the command line, mind you, you can start GUI stuff from it too. No menus or little pict-jures for me to 'click' on. Menus suck if you have thousands of commands, my PC speaks English, I just type the command. firefox & and its up. Source code in one rxvt, compiler in the other 9 virtual screens, normally no mouse needed. Microsoft windows was a terrorist attack on software development. Eclipse is even worse. Java is El Quada. We need to go back to basics. But, OTOH, having ever more bloat needs ever faster processors, sells hardware, these days you need a quad core with 1000 shaders for email, you know ...

My PC speaker plays "Fur Elise" (about ten seconds worth)

I installed the BURG (not GRUB) boot loader, and it can play any tune you can program into it.

My boot take 30 seconds longer now, because of that.

It requires a MOBO with a PC speaker out jack, and a speaker attached.

Some sound cards have "PC Speaker" input jacks, which that output can be fed into.

Set your line length correctly, dork.

I pass your gripe and second the motion.
