		But while the speakers are connected to the same audio source, it is very easy for a salesperson or the store manager to set the controls (volume, bass, and treble) on the various sets of computer speakers to make one sound better than the rest and influence your purchasing decision.
		Speakers with higher watt ratings are typically capable of accurately producing sounds at higher volumes and are generally more accurate than speakers with lower wattage ratings.
		Speaker position is important for your sound stage, for example: if you have your speakers properly placed on either side of you monitor and are watching a bouncing ball moving from the left side of your monitor to the right side of your monitor.

	PC speaker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The PC speaker is the most primitive sound system used in IBM compatible PCs, and in fact used to be the only one in use in PC games before more technologically advanced sound cards such as AdLib or the Sound Blaster were introduced as ISA plug-in cards in the late 1980s.
		The PC speaker is best characterized by its inability to play more than one tone at once, the waveform being generated by the Programmable Interval Timer.
		In spite of its limited nature, the PC speaker was often used in very innovative ways to create the impression of polyphonic music or sound effects within computer games of its era, such as the LucasArts series of adventure games from the mid-1990s, using swift arpeggios.

	Multimedia speaker comparison: Altec Lansing Select 4100, Cambridge SoundWorks FPS1600, Creative Inspire Digital 5700 ...
		The basic kind of half-decent PC speaker system is the "2.1" channel setup, with two mid-to-high-frequency satellite speakers and one larger subwoofer - the ".1" part, since it's bass-only.
		Inside the small speakers is, wonder of wonders, a bit of acetate fibre wadding, and drivers rated at 10 watts RMS for the satellites and 12 watts for the centre speaker.
		The centre speaker's meant to be 21 watts, but the back of the driver says 12; you can maybe get a bit more through it by feeding it only frequencies that it can easily handle (which is what all good sub-sat systems should do), but 21 watts is still stretching it.

	Buying Guide: PC Speaker Systems PC Magazine - Find Articles
		There was a time when "good PC speakers" was something of a contradiction in terms.
		If your PC is already in cramped quarters and you don't play games or listen to loud music, this may be a good choice.
		A 2.1 speaker setup is ideal for the music enthusiast who doesn't play many games, doesn't watch DVD movies often, and operates in a space-challenged environment.

	ubuntu_users: PC Speaker
		I really need to have a VERY quiet PC (one that doesn't beep at all) but I need to hear the audible queues from vi, etc that are generated out of that speaker.
		I believe you'd need to jumper the pc speaker output from the case header into the one of the sound card inputs in order to get the pc speaker beep to be controlled by the volume control.
		You should be able to kill the PC speaker altogether by unloading the "pcspkr" module, and keep it from being loaded by adding "fllist pcspkr" to a new file called /etc/modprobe.d/local.

		While the Creative speakers are said to be best for high quality at low volumes, the Klipsch speakers get much louder, with a more strident lower end.
		PC Magazine reviews a few speaker systems individually, and since all get numerical ratings, you can compare them to some extent.
		PC Magazine doesn't cover speakers as thoroughly as they do other computer peripherals, and in the last year, editors have only offered one comparison review.

	Hi-Fi PC Speaker System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		If you like listening to music while using your PC, or enjoy games with all their sound effects, you will generally be disappointed with most of the PC speaker systems available.
		The frequency where the voltage across the speaker terminals is highest is the resonant frequency, and you will need this to double check the figures from the Linkwitz transform spreadsheet.
		This is also the speaker return point for the satellite speakers - the sub-woofer driver is connected to the amp in bridge, so it has no earth return.

		The enclosure should be of die cast aluminum, as a kind of ruggedized speaker sold by Radio Shack is encased in, or of ABS or other high temperature plastic.
		A usual PC speaker cabinet is generally too cheaply made, although a large enough one might do well and not melt or deform.
		The kind of speaker design such as the square frame 4" type with a small magnet used in intercoms and small radios is very good and efficient, and will make the most of this amp.

	Computer Speakers, Computer Speaker Reviews, PC Speakers
		Although DenGuru.com doesn't generally test more than two speakers at once, its reviews are the most thorough we found, and editors routinely deconstruct subwoofers and satellite speakers to examine their guts.
		PC Magazine's Don Labriola says it best: "Depending on whom you talk to, 7.1-channel audio is either the Holy Grail of immersive sound or the answer to a question nobody asked." The problem is that there's hardly any 7.1 source material in existence.
		When it comes to 2.1 speakers, our chart is a little misleading, since we found three great reviews for an evolutionary Altec Lansing 2.1 speaker, the VS2121, which turned into the VS2221 and is now the VS2321.

	non pc speaker with pc - TBCS Community Forums
		He doesnt have to specify speakers or sound card, doesnt make a difference what he has, pretty much all high end speakers use the same wiring, its the input connectors on the speakers that differ, banana plugs, spring clips e.t.c.
		PC Audio out to Receiver INPUT, you can figure out how to hook the speakers to the amp with the manual if ya dont know what your doing.
		The adaptor cable from the PC to the AMP should be a 1/8th STEREO to dual RCA plugs available at any stereo shop or radio shack, or better yet toslink or digital connectors if your soundcard\motherboard support it.

	Creating a Kernel Driver for the PC Speaker LG #69

		The idea is to drive the PC speaker cone in bursts, when we can't quite push it up to the mark smoothly.

	Programming the PC Speaker, part 1
		The pitiful beeps and squawks which this speaker was capable of generating seemed adequate then, but of course with the advent of soundcards and digital sound, the speaker has become the poor relation for sound generation.
		To understand how to use the PC speaker, we need to understand a few other elements of how the PC operates, and also remind ourselves of some elementary physics, so here's a brief overview.
		That is, once you've connected the speaker to timer 2, you can change the frequency as often as you like without doing the connection again.

	BeBits - PC Speaker Driver - Talkback (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		And yes, the speaker itself can do whatever it is asked for, the problem is the wave generator that delivers signals, which hardly has any amplification, so for a simple square wave it's ok, but for more complex signals it isn't enough.
		But being a 2" speaker you cant expect wicked quality or a 35htz bass response but the point is it's a speaker.
		Note also the sound level really depends on the speaker itself, which usually is very small, or sometimes only a buzzer in some PCs, and the place it is located in the case.

		Power and audio source plug into the back of the controlling speaker; also on the back is an RCA plug to connect the other speaker via cable.
		On the front of the controlling speaker are (from left to right) bass control, secondary audio input, headphone jack, and volume control.
		These are not small (10.5" H x 3.25" W x 6.5" D) as multimedia speakers go, you have the two speakers, the power brick, and wires to deal with and you need to plug them in somewhere.

		All of them work with your PC, and all but one, the X-530s, include an adapter that conveniently lets you plug them into your game console.
		We appreciate the versatility, but one point remains clear: because the high-end 2.1 Z-2300s sound so impressive and are not all that expensive, we recommend saving up instead of settling for either of the substantially lower-quality options, which cost only a little bit less.
		Although it lacks the power and the clarity of some speakers, the X-530 set provides a cheap way to add respectable 5.1-channel surround sound to your computer.
