Hi, Thanks for the suggestions, I will look into them.

You'd only need it for a larger device like a moving coil loudspeaker. If you do go the loudspeaker route you need to make sure you don't leave the control pin in a high state either during boot or after your buzzer code has run because you will just be stuffing DC though the coil which will do it no good at all. Either that or do some decoupling so that even with the driver transistor in an on state it doesn't just sit there sinking DC through the coil.
