[SOLVED] Do I need speakers for my PC?

[Spirals]

Ok, this may be a dumb and old question but do you really need speakers? If not, how Will I hear sounds? I've seen many builds built by many people worldwide, I've seen/heard nothing about speakers at all. Do monitors have pre-built speakers? Or maybe motherboards have speakers? Because I've been thinking this question and it kinda had me overthinking about it

Any suggestions?

Some displays have speakers, but they are generally inferior to stand alone speakers. Many use headsets/headphones instead of (or in addition to) speakers.

The motherboard "speaker" is only for beep codes (diagnostics) on modern PCs.

If you want to hear anything, add some speakers.

Alright, thanks for the feedback 😀
But is it that much of a difference between the prebuilt speakers and a speaker itself?

Yes, the difference can be HUGE in terms of sound quality of display/monitor speakers and even inexpensive stand alone speakers.

The motherboard "speaker" sounds much like your microwave when it finishes...
