in theory? sure, I think most, if not all SB16s have a PC speaker input.

so connect the motherboards speaker out to the SB16s PC speaker input and just wire the internal speaker to the speaker output of the SB16.

though I really don't see why you would want that.
you'd lose both the authentic PC speaker sound from your IBM as well as the sound quality your SB16 could provide.

I have an SB16 in my ibm 5162 XT.
All I want to know is- is it possible to hook up the output of the sb16 fairly elegantly to output via the internal ibm pc speaker. And also have it still operate as a normal pc speaker? How would one achieve this?

At this point, my external speakers are a bit overkill and I think the original IBM speaker was just fine for mono sound.

Hi,

Did you try my MOD Player, Mod Master ?
To play .MOD in 16Bit at more than 30KHz and OPL3 Music, your external speakers will no more be overkill 😀

By the yay, I think the 5162 has a Piezoelectric speaker, so the SB16 sound may not work on it...
