You indicate that you hear a beep from the computer but you don't have
a sound card installed so I assuming that you don't have external
speakers that one plugs into a sound card. So the speakers you're
refering to must be the internal speakers in your computer case that
comes standard with cases that isn't generally used in the Windows OS
environment. The Windows OS uses a sound card to "send sound" to
external speakers.

Though I don't have experience in Linux, I do know a little about
hardware. What linux is probably accessing is the speakers inside
your computer case. Windows utilizes sound card to play sound.
Stick in an old sound card, install drivers, get some cheap speakers,
and let symphony begin!

The above info could, and is probably incorrect. As always, your
mileage may vary.
