When using BaWaMi as my synth and playing an old game, the music plays loudly through all speakers at full volume, while the sound effects react to changes in window volume. This behavior suggests it might be emulating an emulated PC speaker, with the main speakers handling the audio. When I opened my laptop, only the left and right Windows speakers were active, and the POST beeps came from the same internal speakers.
The Dell laptop includes a function on its motherboard where the beep is combined with the built-in sound card or speaker configuration, and it will emit a sound when an issue arises. If this doesn't occur, the LED on the CapsLock button will flash in a sequence to signal an error. That is all.
