Other than what you described, I doubt it. The on board speaker is used for bios level error codes. That is, identifying error conditions that exist before higher level hardware (including your sound card) has been initialised during the O/S boot.

Subject: I need to hear PC Speaker Beeps through the Audio Output.
Is there any kind of debian module that will reproduce
PC speaker sounds through the sound card?
The system in question has a working sound card but
there are no apparent pins on the mother board that carry the
timer-counter output to the outside world.
There is a piezo transducer on the board that beeps just
fine but there are no pins short of unsoldering the piezo
speaker and putting a couple of pins in it's place and that is
way too much work and the system does not belong to me. I need
to hear the beeps in headphones. The sound card even has a 2-pin
input marked PC Speaker but getting the signal there is the
issue which is why I am asking if there is a software-based
solution.
Thanks for any ideas.

Some mobos have a SPKR connection near the front edge.
That's for a real speaker. If yours has that, you could connect
it to the sound card. Otherwise, the other poster is correct:
there is no audio going to the piezo device, so you can't
use that signal for anything else.
