You turned off both "Master Playback Switch" and "PC Speaker Playback
Switch" of snd-pcsp driver.  Then it cannot work.

And, since you loaded the sound driver for on-board sound chip, you'll
likely have to adjust the mixer of that driver, too.  The beep can be
hooked to the on-board chip once after initialized.

But I'm wondering why "PC Speaker Playback Switch" and Volume don't
appear in the on-board driver.  Which codec (I suppose it's AC97) on
it?

Weird.  If CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR isn't there, the box shouldn't beep at
all.  If it still beeps, it must be a bug...
