sound card emulate "built-in" speaker?

I recently got a cheap surplus laptop, & discovered that sound() doesn't
work on it.  It occurred to me that I may have heard once that laptops don't
*have* the cheap "built-in" speaker that desktops do, which sound() would be
using, and has instead speaker(s) attached to a sound card.  If that's true,
is there some way to "emulate" the sound() routine to work on the sound card
speakers?  I need to *not* use .wav files, because the effect I want to
produce is a tone which varies continuously in frequency depending on a
variable input.  (I might use .wav files in addition to the varying tone,
but I need the varying tone.)
