Hello. This post is about PC Speaker connector. Warning! This is PC Speaker out, though it looks like PC Speaker in with only 2 pins.
I have two cards like that. I burned couple things on first one about a year ago when connected to the motherboard, was scared and didn't use the card, although it is still working fine! But I got some smell 😀
Now I came back with the other computer to this card and yes, I can confirm it is Pc Speaker out. Have two speakers inside now. One for actual PC Speaker and one is Aztech Out
The card I mentioned is here:

Just friendly advice, cause I didn't find any info about it online two years ago and paid some price.

Oh interesting, so does it play all audio to the internal speaker or just beeps? I have also had it hooked up wrong, though the card seems fine

Yeah. Playing everything audio related, BESIDES Beeps. since it doesn't have anything called PC IN. Internal out cuts off when jack is connected. That would be cool to have PC IN and Everything OUT.
Yeah I had smoke and smell, but that card works fine still. Tested in XT machine though, so 8-bit part only.

Btw, does anybody know what is the center connector means? I saw on eBay it is selling with ribbon cable from it, 9-pin (10).
Wondering if it is front Audio panel? That would be great!
I can't find any information about it, as I said, I have no idea how to test it...
