Motherboard doesnt have a speaker?

[RyanLittlehales]

Im new to computer building and i have only bought my case, mobo and psu that is second hand. Plug it in correctly and only get around half a second of fan speed and then nothing. I put a pin between the black and green cables on the 24 power connector turned it on and it worked fine. But i am also questioning that my mobo isnt booting up as i can not hear any beeps like most other computers. Im not sure if its because neither my case, BitFenix Shadow, or my mobo, Asrock b85m-itx, have speakers on. I have tried with external speakers etc but nothing works.

Sorry if ive missed anything im new as i mentioned.

The majority of motherboards (MB) and cases don't come with a system speaker.

External speakers plugged into the ports on the back are different than the internal system speaker.

Basically, it's a tiny speaker that is plugged in to 2 small pins on the MB and is used for the beeps you mentioned not hearing.

Unfortunately, if something is second hand it might not work (brand new stuff doesn't work sometimes).

Will you be able to buy these speakers at any good electronic store if so what would would i ask for?

This is what you need:

I purchased a bunch of them on ebay a while ago for $1 each plus $1 shipping. $2 a piece.

PC Internal Mini Onboard Speaker

It connects where your motherboard power switch, hard drive LED, and reset switch plug into motherboard.
Unfortunately, the ASRock B85M-ITX doesn't seem to have anyplace to connect it. It seems to have been omitted in that motherboard design.
