It appears the Audible Bell is plain not working with a default Ubuntu setup, which has that option enabled and the system speaker muted (because the year is 2011).
The Visual Bell (via Fading Windows plugin?) works, so apparently Compiz is intercepting it. It should generate an event sound via libcanberra, as Metacity does, and that is not happening. (For reference, Metacity does this in its ./src/core/bell.c, under the function meta_bell_notify) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537703 Title: Compiz intercepts alert sound from gnome-terminal -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
