Do most motherboards include speakers?

[cst1992]

My current motherboard has an integrated speaker. As I intend to build my own PC now, I'd like to make sure I'll have a BIOS speaker. I'm looking at a Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H motherboard. Would that include a speaker? It doesn't seem to include one on the board itself.
Thanks.

It includes a header for it. pg 26 in the user manual

Unknown if the actual speaker is included, but probably.

Yes, I know it includes a header. That's why I ask.
I can't find a speaker online(for India), so if Gigabyte includes the speakers with the mobo itself, it'll save me the effort.

Worst case scenario, will any standard electronics store(that sells ICs, transistors, etc) have one of these?

Most all mb's have the header but it is usually the case manufacturer that supplies the speaker. Some cases include them but many don't so you will have to either buy one or take one from an old case that has one. You can find them at many electronics shops or you can buy one online from another country if possible.

I'm not ordering internationally because of custom duties.
I've got the case already, it's a Corsair Carbide 500R, and it doesn't have the speaker with it.

I have that same case and knowing that it did not have a speaker when I bought it, I bought one from a local Radio Shack electronics store. Most any small shop can order one for you if they don't have any in stock. I understand about the custom fees but the speaker itself only cost $4 US so even with the fees it shouldn't be too expensive. Checking with friends, family, or local computer clubs for old pc's with a speaker may be the quickest route. Good luck.
