OK – that’s a desktop environment thing. (Which desktop environment,
anyway?)

It will almost certainly consider the beeper a fallback to use if there
is no other sound hardware available. As soon as you make HDA available,
it will use that.

So one option might simply be to find a recording of a suitable beep,
and choose that as the standard alert sound. In Gnome (at least on F14,
but I don’t think F13 was any different), this was configured through
System → Preferences → Sound.

Unfortunately, at least on Gnome,
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607906 suggests that metacity
won’t route system alerts to the PC speaker. Compiz might – what happens
if you turn on Desktop Effects?

You might also want to check you have pulseaudio-module-x11 installed.

Hope this helps,

James (who is somewhat handicapped – in this case! – by not having any
hardware with a PC speaker any more).
