Problem with Alsa, Ubuntu 9.04 and access technology!

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi. I am using Ubuntu 9.04 on an acer aspire 1 net book. I have to use the orca screen reader and I use speech-dispatcher as the back-end speech service. When running the orca/speech-dispatcher setup with pulse audio I was able to get system sounds and speech. However due to the speech being laggy I switched to using Alsa and removed pulse audio with the aptitude command. Now I can have either speech with the configuration mentioned above or play MP3s etc. I can not do both simultaneously and have to kill orca at the terminal in order to get my machine to play MP3s.
I have upgraded Alsa driver, lib and utils to the latest versions as of about 3 weeks ago and an article I read said that Dmix should be enabled by default. I hoped that this would solve my problems but it hasn't. I don't know much about the internal workings of Alsa but really don't want to have to switch distro because of this.
 
Help much appreciated.
Jen!
