Possibly because PC Speaker support (INPUT_PCSPKR) is not enabled in
your kernel or the corresponding module is not loaded.  (Why the kernel
configuration routines consider the PC speaker an "input device" is a
separate mystery, unless it contributed to your not finding this option
and consequently not running this driver.)
