   > The Asus ProArt X870E-CREATOR WIFI motherboard does not have a built-in   
   speaker for beeps. Instead, it uses a series of short and long beeps from a   
   connected speaker or buzzer (if one is installed) to indicate system status or   
   errors during the boot    
   process, similar to other ASUS motherboards. These beeps are part of the AMI   
   BIOS and can help diagnose problems.

   OEM boards, like a Dell motherboard, they use a piezo beeper, black in color,   
   the size of a quarter or so. It is soldered to the board.   
      
   Retail motherboards use a small speaker, the small speaker is SUPPOSED to be   
   in the computer case. However, costly fancy computer cases don't have the   
   speaker any more. The speaker is "8 ohm 0.25W" as printed on the back.   
      
   This means, users are ripping the speaker out of older computers and   
   stuffing the speaker into a new computer (while they debug).   
      
   My newest PC, is using the beep speaker pulled from an Apple computer :-)   
   The tones sound so much better, when they come from an Apple Speaker.   
   The sounds are "richer" :-)
