Thanks for the reply Dave.

I have actually tried all of the things that you listed plus more to no 
avail however I just solved the problem by opening Accessibility in 
Control Center and checking "Use System Bell".

The way I found it to be the cause was going through all the *rc files 
in ~/.kde/share/config, kaccessrc was the culprit.  I guess if you open 
Accessibility, whether you change anything or not, kaccessrc is created  
with the defaults "SystemBell=false".
