why the motherboard does not have an onboard speaker, or am i missing something?
the traditional beep sound serves as an indication of completing post, without it i have to just rely on the screen.

Hi

I think it is a very shortsighted and penny pinching step to stop the inclusion of a buzzer/beeper in the motherboard packaging. Many motherboard manufacturers have done the same but for the few pence it would cost to supply them it is indeed a shame as they are undoubtedly a very useful tool when faultfinding.
