Huh MP? It is doable, and I've done it for the same reasons the
OP wants to - ambient noise and the computer not close to me,
it's a very weak sound and sometimes important, esp after some
specific tests, etc.. Like someone else said, it depends on the
sound card. Granted it doesn't usually get used much, but ... it
sure is possible! Just not usually worth much.
That said, when you turn on the System Sounds, the PC speaker has
very little to do, and even during boot, it can't tell you
anything until after the sound drivers etc. are loaded. Some
software however does use it.
