Thunderbird & Kopete .... Sound Problems

[Nibiruet]

Has anyone been successful in getting the Thunderbird new email sound alert to work in Kubuntu 6.0.6 or alerts in Kopete?

Have installed all the possible codecs but sound in Thunderbird or Kopete does not work.

Have Kaffeine, Amarok, Noatun, VLC, juK, RealPlayer, XMMS etc. all installed but nothing seems to work. Even new email sound selection under System Settings ----> Sound & Multimedia ----> System Notifications does not work. Music audios, MP3s, WAV files etc. (clicked on directly) all work.

Any help appreciated - thanks!

Same story (Kopete works, though). I just gave up in the finish and use Opera for mail.

My sounds in system settings work, but I can only set a mail notification sound for KMail, but I take it thunderbird hooks up to the same notification.
But manually setting this in thunderbird does not play a sound and there is never a visible popup either.

Ditto to the above problems!

Has anyone found a solution?

Same problem here. My guess is that Thunderbird lacks aRts support.
