on x86 hardware that is correct, since the internal speaker on x86
hardware is not attached to sound hardware (at least in any x86 ive
ever seen) about all the internal speaker of an x86 can do is beep.

Apple hardware is different, there is no speaker dedicated only to
beeping, thus the system beep must go through the sound hardware.
