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!
