I left the reply in jest. But while we're here. Capacitors vary widely in price by type, capacitance, and quality. A 1uF multilayer ceramic is probably one of the most common and cheapest to buy capacitors there is, except maybe the .01uF. Output coupling of an audio amplifier requires a lot more capacitance than ceramics can muster. That cap, if present is going to be an electrolytic, and it is going to cost more than $0.001 or even $0.01 at qty. Although I'm reading that direct coupled amplifiers are all the rage these days, probably so they can get the expensive electrolytics off the BOM.

I have the schematics for my laptop and it has 1uF ceramics on the speaker PA inputs, that's why I linked to that particular one. The other common values I've seen are 2u2 and 4u7, which is a little more expensive but will give more bass --- not that it really matters on a tinny little laptop speaker anyway. At least I'm happy to know that I won't burn out the speakers on my laptop with DC.
