Do you have a PC speaker?
What is a PC speaker? I have a woofer and two tweeters that produce
sound for video clips from YouTube, but PC speaker must be something
else?
Yes. It's the thing that goes beep :D
If you have one it'll be a piezo or magnetic device mounted on the
motherboard or inside the front panel.

Back when computing was new, there was a little speaker on every case, and when you booted up, it would go beep, and if it went more than one beep, it was the code for something not working. It's extremely likely that your mobo has a connection for that speaker that's missing from your case. So look at your documentation, and find a tiny speaker that you can mount to a louver or set of holes in the front of your case, and hook it all up. A computer shop ought to have one of those little speakers from
an old machine that they scrapped.
