Did anybody ever manage to hack the internal speaker?

I've not used my Touch for a few years and was about to take it to the recycle bin.... It seems a shame as the display is so nice and my Radios are still in daily use.
It would be nice to use as an alarm clock and simple radio in the spare bedroom - but i don't want to connect to an "always on" external speaker.
Did anybody manage to get a hardware or software hack to utilise the internal speaker?

thanks
