The purpose of the beep command is to send "beep sounds" to the PC speaker, not to the computer's sound card. If you want to send "beeps" to speakers or headphones connected to your sound card, you would need to use some other software (i.e., not the beep command).
I don't have any experience with the type of sound software that can generate "beep sounds", so I am just guessing here: I would assume that any sound package that supports "MIDI" could be used - you would just need to tell it to produce a specific audio frequency for a short period of time (maybe 1/10 second?).

Try this :
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/sox
After installing , read the manual.
NAME
SoX - Sound eXchange, the Swiss Army knife of audio manipulation
SYNOPSIS
sox [global-options] [format-options] infile1
[[format-options] infile2] ... [format-options] outfile
[effect [effect-options]] ...
play [global-options] [format-options] infile1
[[format-options] infile2] ... [format-options]
[effect [effect-options]] ...
SoX(1) Sound eXchange SoX(1)
NAME
SoX - Sound eXchange, the Swiss Army knife of audio manipulation
For example:
Will play short beep, or tone A .
You could put the command in a simple shell script, and name it
"beep-1.sh", then it could be run by just typing "./beep-1", don't use "beep"
for the name, it could cause conflict , or confusion with the "beep" command
you have all ready.

Not sure I understand, you can edit the first post, subject line, add the
word "solved",...
If you mean what key words I used to find a answer, ?
Actually none, I did not find the answer to this by doing a search.
By coincidence , I had asked a similar question here:

Well, if you want to use the external speaker then it's probably easier to just generate a .wav (or other sound file format) with audio/audacity for use with your favorite music playing software.
When I tried "audacity", it was not what I wanted, but in the Audacity manual:
If you need to batch-process audio or do
simple edits from the command line, using sox or ecasound driven by a
bash script will be much more powerful than audacity.
They mentioned "sox", so I installed that, and it works perfect for what I
wanted to do.
