I'm not so sure, what you mean. Are you referring to the pcspkr module?
I can't find the module you're referring to at all.

Also, pcspkr is available in all kernels:

  sudo pacman -Ql linux linux-rt linux-hardened |grep pcspkr

  linux
  /usr/lib/modules/4.14.11-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.ko.xz
  linux-rt
  /usr/lib/modules/4.14.8-rt9-3-rt/kernel/drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.ko.xz
  linux-hardened
  /usr/lib/modules/4.14.11-1-hardened/kernel/drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.ko.xz

It might just not be loaded?
Check your /etc/modprobe.d/* (for blacklisting) and if it doesn't get
loaded automatically (which it should), you can add it to
/etc/modules-load.d/ or load it on the spot `sudo modprobe pcspkr`

Best,
David
