Check if the PC speaker kernel module is present:

lsmod | grep pcspkr

If that returns nothing, then check /etc/rc.conf for these line:

MOD_BLACKLIST=(foo)
MODULES=(bar pcspkr)

MOD_BLACKLIST must NOT contain pcspkr, while adding it to MODULES should autoload it on boot.

If you want it to load right now, then just enter:

modprobe pcspkr
