Certainly, some sound cards offer this feature. You might also need to adjust the BIOS settings to send the output to a beeper, though this varies by card and driver. I’m familiar with my Lenovo workstation having a built-in speaker for alerts, but now it seems more likely the regular speaker is used instead of a piezo type, which can struggle with a broad frequency range and often sounds poor.
