A partial solution, anyhow. I've found that reenabling the nouveau
driver, which I had replaced with the nvidia driver to debug a
different issue, enabled the beep. I'm now looking for a clean
way to do the replacement (different thread).
A related item. I noticed that
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist.conf
contains
# Comment this entry in order to load snd-pcsp driver
blacklist snd-pcsp
Is that be significant? Seems that might affect the pc speaker.
I tried commenting it out [with nvidia driver active], but didn't
notice a difference after rebooting. Does the snd-pcsp driver have to
be loaded explicitly by something else?
