IDEA: Bring back the BEEP!
4wd:
Whether or not you can control the motherboard beeper/speaker might come down to your hardware. The only time I get a beep, (besides fault codes and I'm not sure about that since the board has a diagnostic LED display), is when I enter the BIOS.
No beep for successful POST which is handy for when you fire it up in the middle of the night.
Since the onboard beeper is really only required for POST codes these days there may be no hardware connection on your board which allows it to be driven by the OS.
One way to check would be to load a Linux LiveCD and try the beep command.

I've got several of those kicking around, I'll give it a try once I find an English translation of your link. :D
(Most of that means nothing to me.) :(
(It appears I have Ubuntu 6.06 and Knoppix 5.1.1. the rest are Rescue Discs.)
Just had a look at the MB Manual:
System warning speaker (4-pin SPEAKER)
This 4-pin connector is for the chassis-mounted system warning speaker.
The speaker allows you to hear system beeps and warnings.

It's probably a remote shot but I wonder what happens if I try beep.sys in XP Mode, I know it's there?

Try using Autohotkey...

Both the Linux CD's booted but refused to run.
Knoppix gave a 'cannot find the file system' error.
Ubuntu got as far as 'loading kernel' and never got any further.
The AHK script did nothing.

Another long shot:

Pieces of software are available here that are supposed to enable you to play all kinds of audio through the system speaker.
