Hi, I have some thing similar happening on a Mercer motherboard based box. What is happening in this case is that the sound chip only supports stereo IE. two channel audio. Flite/festival which is used as the software speech in Oralux, writes a mono file. to produce the sound. Find out which sound chip your laptop is using by using the dmesg command in linux and then do a google search to find out if that chip might have the same problem.
