The speaker would be of low quality and not capable of playing loud and high quality sounds. The inside speaker is connected directly to the motherboard, and usually serves as a notice when something is going wrong with the computer (except during boot up). Today PC speakers have became a vital accessory to the user.

Speakers have become a standard addition to the PC today. They are used to play music. In windows, the user can configure the computer to play different sounds dependent on their actions. Here is a visual example of the variety of speakers available to the PC user.
