Can you clarify that? If you're thinking that the BIOS should be accessible through a sound card, then consider the following. 1. There are different companies today making different sound cards. How would the BIOS code know how to interface with a sound card in your system given this, assuming that the system in question had a sound card installed? 2. Consider how much ROM space a screen reader, a TTS engine, and all possible sound card drivers would take. As for myself, I think that a serial accessible BIOS via terminal software is perfectly reasonable, and would welcome such a feature on the x86 architecture, especially given the fact that it would be better then what we have now, which is nothing.
