Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think the PC speaker was literally a 1-bit speaker. Anything that sounded more detailed was PWM on that one bit

That's correct. Jesus they were awful yokes but they were really mostly intended for letting you know that your hardware was bollixed at boot time.

PC's had mostly been business machines really until the 90s if my memory is correct.

If you wanted gaming you got a more gaming focused machine like an Amiga or console.
