It does not have the option to play music through the PC speaker, the lowest option is AdLib. There's a later port which supports it, but it's extremely recent.

There was a sound driver for Windows 3.1 that played through the PC speaker. Problem was that while playing a sound the whole system froze. Same thing happens on the NES in Direct PCM mode which is why the Battletoads intro text draws at an inconsistent speed.

Way back in the days, there was a program for windows 95 called afterdark, and if you didn't have a soundcard, it would play the windows sounds through the pc speaker, and yeah, quality is very similar to this! I am glad that, for OG Doom 1 & 2, they only had the sound effects playing on the pc speaker! In fact, it's a relic of the past that is still being in our computers to this day, and yes, they are unaltered!

Fun fact: back in the days pc cases usually had a small speaker instead of a buzzer, and it was not uncommon to have games play PCM audo through it, like Another World.

At the highest quality it uses all the cpu so while playing audio everything else stopped 😆
