I've never heard of the case speaker making anything but beeps.  Either 
yours is quite unique or you guys are talking about different speakers. 
      I think you'll need to add support for the sound card that the 
speaker is connected to.  Have a look at the case speaker.  I can't see 
it being connected to a sound card but verify that.  If it (or another 
case speaker) is in fact connected to sound card, add that device to the 
kernel.

Don't know what card you have (and am haven't really followed the 
thread) but have you tried soundblaster support?

device pcm

It's pretty common.  Worked on almost every FreeBSD desktop machine I've 
ever had.  Hope this helps.
