You may connect amplified Speakers to Front Panel Audio Jack. see para. 1.10 Product Technical Spec.: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/boardsandkits/NUC7i5BN_NUC7i7BN_TechProdSpec.pdf https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/boardsandkits/NUC7i5BN_NUC7i7BN_TechProdSpec.pdf

Leon is correct. The BIOS has the ability to output to external speakers plugged into the front panel Audio jack. With this capability in place, there is absolutely no need for an internal speaker - nor is there room for one considering the compact design of the NUC. Bottom line, you will never see an internal speaker added back in.

Hi

I know that the nuc's designed for multimadia usage.

But

the low power consumption (15W) and the compact designe make them ideal for small server

I use them as small servers at my lab working 24/7 all year

sins that thy are not connected to keyboard mouse or screen the speaker is very important to know what happens in restart (or start) or in high temp

I know that I can connect external speakers but this interfere with the impact design future

their is a place inside for a small speaker (for beeps only)

like i said it will be very nice for this in the next designs

Yes. An internal piezoelectric speaker would be extremely small, really cheap and not certainly a space problem.

Attaching a jack, wire and external speaker is not an option for situations where you need to keep external space need at a minimum.
