PC speaker is only related to soundcard in extraordinary cases (with ISA
cards you could fairly often route the PC speaker through the card so
you could adjust volume and laptops may do similar things) but normally
it's a completely different "subsystem".
The above sounds like you simply haven't enabled the PC speaker driver
in the kernel which you can find in the kernel configuration menu. It's
undergoing some changes at the moment due to an ALSA driver that _can_
use the PC speaker as a soundcard (badly...) but until recently it was
under:
Device Drivers ->
Input device support ->
Miscelaneous devices
With current mainline, it's:
General setup ->
Configure standard kernel features (for small systems)
Enable PC-Speaker support
Make sure you do not enable the ALSA PC speaker driver (which as said
uses it as a soundcard, not for system beepage). Ie, not the one under
Device Drivers ->
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ->
Generic devices

Don't know about that...
