I solved the issue by doing following steps.

Edit /etc/inputrc
-----------------
set bell-style on
set bell-style audible

Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
-----------------------------------
#blacklist pcspkr

Edit ~/.profile
---------------
xset b 100
pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga bell.oga

NOTE: This above is maybe unnecessary.

In alsamixer set these:
-----------------------
Beep: switch ON, decrease to 16
Auto-Mute Mode: Disabled
Loopback Mixing: Enabled

Reboot the system, or run

# modprobe pcspkr
