I think it is called PC Speaker (so, singular. Indeed, not the speakers) Bot sure where I know that from.. maybe setting the sound in old games like Doom.. "PC Speaker" or "Sound Card". Hmm ! Or, "PC speaker" vs No sound, (that's a more difficult one! But I always like the PC Speaker sound - the game Xenon2 for example!) !

I've never heard of them causing a beep, but as they have a lifetime of more than 5 years then this could be a "new" thing (I'm easily 5 years out of date with PC hardware). -- Boo |
