Is the sound card on his system build into the motherboard? If so,
try enable the pc speaker setting in your mixer of choice, and make
sure it isn't muted. Some systems with built-in sound route the
speaker output through the sound card. (I have one - every thing
except the POST beeps goes through the sound card.
