I don't know if it's known to the devs but the internal speaker doesn't work in either of these games. Star Control uses some kind of tweaked PC speaker sound and Star Control II tries to play digital samples.

Internal speaker can be activated in both games by adding "/s:internal" to the command line.

You might try runing at low cycles counts, like in the 500-3000 range, if you aren't already. Also, make sure PC speaker sound works with other games, just to be sure.

PC Speaker works with other games, including "Realsound" games from Access. (Links, World Class Leader Board,...)
Also lowering the cycles doesn't fix it. As SC 1/2 are from the same authors, I guess they have used some peculiar method to program the speaker.
