Detailed explanation-1: -The first internal computer speaker (a speaker inside the chassis of a laptop) was created in 1981 by IBM. External computer speakers began to appear in stores in the early 1990s when computer gaming, digital music, and other forms of media became popular.

Detailed explanation-2: -A speaker is an output device that produces sound through an oscillating transducer called a driver. The equivalent input device is a microphone. Speakers are plugged into a computer’s sound card via a myriad of interfaces, such as a phone connector for analog audio, or SPDIF for digital audio.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first internal computer speaker was invented by IBM in 1981 and produced basic, low quality sound. As technology progressed, onboard speakers moved into the computer monitor and acquired the ability to produce voices, music, and other sound effects.
