Depends entirely on whether the speaker is wired into the sound system.
If so, mixer will show a speaker device, eg on my 10y.o. Armada 1500c:

% mixer
Mixer vol      is currently set to  80:80
Mixer synth    is currently set to   0:0
Mixer pcm      is currently set to  92:92
Mixer speaker  is currently set to  51:51
Mixer line     is currently set to   0:0
Mixer mic      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer cd       is currently set to   0:0
Mixer line1    is currently set to   0:0
Recording source: mic
