Hi Had similar problem with Evolution a couple of years ago. I abandoned the normal sound notification and created a rule to make it play a sound on an incoming email event for all emails. Bit of a kludge but it has proved to be robust.

If like me you downloaded the tarball and unpacked it then you wont have any dependencies installed. The easy way to solve this is to install a dependency package called 'esound': sudo apt-get install esound After running this command close down thunderbird and re open it, check your emails, and if you have new mail you should get sound again! If you dont have new mail go back to Thunderbird Preferences > General and press the play button on selecting a wav file to use. <My personal reccomendation> http://simplythebest.net/sounds/WAV/WAV_files/movie_WAV_files/monty_message.wav </My personal reccomendation> PS Gossip for you all, I am on chapter 8 of 10 in my Linux+ exam preparation.
