Not entirely true. I've seen both motherboards and sound cards with a 
built in audio amplifier sufficient to drive small speakers to a 
reasonable volume. Jumpers or configuration settings are provided to 
select either line or speaker levels to the output jack.

These were older products, though. It may not be so common these days 
(but never say never).
