I have this issue, too. (I don't see "Audio" in the Preferences Menu, though. The closest I have is System > Preferences > Sound > System Beep > Enable System Beep. I guess this is just a difference in translation.)
Since I get no beeps on the virtual console, either, I suspect that this is a kernel issue. (I do have a speaker on my computer and esd works fine.)
