If anything other than 'beep' goes to the internal speaker, then
complain to the idiots that designed the machine.  it is a hardware
choice, not a software choice, and linux can't do anything about it.

A mixer setting might do something about it though.

It does, but it sounds like you don't have a normal pc speaker, but more
likely one of those speakers hooked up to the onboard audio the way some
HP and compaq business desktops like to do (after all it gives you some
sound without having to buy a set of speakers).
