I may be confused as to what speaker you are talking about. My assumption was that you were referring to the standard PC speaker (sometimes called the console speaker), and not a speaker attached to an audio card. For most laptops, these two speakers are the same. For most desktop systems, the "internal" speaker is mounted to the case via a lead from the motherboard. If you are indeed referring to the same internal speaker that I am referring to, then you can indeed play music through it. But the audio quality will be extremely poor. But I don't know how to do it with FreeBSD. I suspect you'll have to write your own driver. On the other hand, if you're talking about getting you audio card with attached speaker to work, that is a different story. I can't help you there, but many people can, provided that you first let them know what sound card you have, or if it's integrated onto the motherboard, what motherboard or computer model you have.
