I don't have one to play with, but does it have a BIOS with settings
or self-tests? The reason is that the sound may be turned off there or
the self-test might show up. I think the internal speaker is like a PC
and has a different sound creator so it might not help.

Oh the hardware diagnosis is on Mac disk 1 .. from the howto:

On an Intel based Mac, insert Mac OS X Install disc 1 that came with
your Mac to your Mac, and hold letter D at boot. This will load it to
the hardware test.
