The following fixed it for me, in Ubuntu 12.04 Precise, using Gnome Classic/Compiz:

1) Add the following 2 lines to file /etc/pulse/default.pa:

load-sample-lazy bell-windowing-system /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg
load-module module-x11-bell sample=bell-windowing-system

2) Run "pulseaudio -k" to restart pulseaudio.

That is, I just followed this post: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=607393#c15
