In my call back, I do set the bounce parameter

////////////////////CODE/////////
dContact contact[MAX_CONTACTS];		//Up to MAX_CONTACTS
contacts per box-box
for(i=0; i<MAX_CONTACTS; i++)
{
   contact[i].surface.mode=dContactBounce |
dContactSoftCFM;
   contact[i].surface.mu=1.0;
   contact[i].surface.mu2=0;
   contact[i].surface.bounce=0.1;
   contact[i].surface.bounce_vel=0.1;
   contact[i].surface.soft_cfm=0.01;
}
////////////////////

When I made the walls into a body while making them
large enough so they won't get pushed by the balls,
the bounce behavior becomes correct.
Also when I do this, the walls go more than half way
through the floor and vibrate for some reason.
Even if I make the wall fall from a above, they do
this.
The walls are just boxes.

I know that the FAQ recommends against this, but both
ways have a failing.

TIA
