GA-G31M-ES2L PC/System/mobo speaker problem!

[playwin2]

Hello,

Last week I change my old mobo with Gigabyte(GA-G31M-ES2L) mobo.
Everything seems fine, but I recently found that the PC speaker(i.e. the System speaker) is not working at all .

My antivirus beeps through system-speaker whenever it founds anything, thats how I find the speaker is not working.

In other words

printf("\a");

produce no bell.

Any clues... please ....

What is printf("\a"); ?

Do you have the speaker connected properly? Did you try to reverse it and see if it then makes a beep?

You should hear one beep everytime you start the system after the POST, so if you hear a beep then it is working

Hello thanks for responding :)

No there is no beep after POST.
After reading your post, I look into the mobo manual and then open my case and found that there are actually no wire connected to the speaker pins.

power led, reset swith etc. are connected, but not the speaker pins.

Infact there are no wire to connect to it.

So I think I need to buy a small PC speaker and then connect it to the pins (i think my old mobo must had an in-built speaker), right?

BTW, printf("\a"); is a c-code, when excuted it should produce a "beep" from the speaker.

Okay, I attached a tiny pc-speaker to the pins, and it's working.
Thread solved. Thanks.
