Speaker question

I'm installing a new Gigabyte motherboard and have a question about
the speaker connector (for the internal PC speaker). If I wanted to
use this connector as an audio output (going to my powered speakers),
will it require a resistor or something to reduce the signal?

You'd need to find a way to 'mix' the signal with the sound card output
but that'll need more than 'a resistor'. And yes, I imagine the voltage
would need reducing too.
