Lesson Content

Parts of a Computer – Speaker

A speaker is a device that produces sound from a computer. It works by converting electrical signals into sound waves. Sound is produced when it is indeed connected to a computer.

Features of a Computer Speaker

Computer speakers have several key features that allow them to function properly:

These include:

1. Volume control: This lets you control how loud the sound is.
2. Power button: This turns the speaker on or off.
3. Audio input: This is where you plug the speaker into the computer.
4. Audio output: This is where the sound comes from.
5. Protective Grill: This covers the speaker components and prevents damage.
6. Indicator Light: This shows if the speaker is powered on or off.
