Hello Bruju,
The Precision 390 has the ability to use an optional internal chassis speaker. This speaker allows the user to hear multimedia and Windows® .wav files without having to purchase desktop speakers.
The chassis speaker is located inside the chassis on the front panel.
The chassis speaker can be disabled in the following ways:
- The speaker can be physically unplugged from the system board connection.
- Alternatively, the speaker is disabled when a user plugs speakers into the integrated sound card's line-out jack or front panel headphone audio jack.
NOTE: No software interface controls this functionality. All the muting occurs at the hardware level.
See the service manual (page 95) for more details on the internal speaker option: ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_dell_precision_workstation/precision-390_user%27s%20guide_en-us.pdf
Thanks,
Shawn B
