Hello,
I understand that. whhich is why I stated usign gnome or any type of x
environment is where it benefits the user to use Pule. I've not used
Alsa. I've only used it to install Arch Linux with Talkinc Arch. I don't
see a problem with only using Alsa. However, I'd think more and more
apps are requiring Pulse these days.
It just seems that one would have to do a lot of work to get rid of
pulse if wanting an Alsa only system. I've not tried the approach with
not having pulse audio loading drivers. and having alsa with dmix not
having Pulse take control of the audio device.

Not in the case of talkingarchlinux. That distro has a script for
automatic sound card discovery and it's able to install a system in a
way where the default will be usb speakers when the installation is
complete.
Kalilinux which uses pulseaudio cannot find usb speakers and match
what talkingarchlinux can do now. The pulseaudio system is a control
system not anything that works on low level stuff. A couple sighted
people who built me a new computer and installed kalilinux on it for
me and myself later verified all of this.

hello,
My thoughts. Pulse Audio has more functionality then Alsa. Alsa is
great for a low level system meaning only command line access. If you
run a graphical environment you will not be able to get discovery of
sound automatically unless of course you write some sort of scripts
for Alsa.
I happen to think though that when Pulse Audio was beginning to be
upon the Linux community most of us who used Espeakup relied on Alsa
heaviely. Now its a bit of a problem for a user who wants the desktop
experience.
Thats just what I see.

Once pulseaudio is purged, try powering off the system then start
the system up again and find out what happens. If everything works,
the system will reconfigure to account for the absence of pulseaudio
and you should have speech back again once that happens.

Tried, but it totally jacked up my sound after that. I'm having to
reinstall again.

Get rid of pulseaudio.
You should be able to google how to do that on your distro.

I'm at my witt's end! I'm working with f123, a manjaro based
distro, and have had really good luck, until it comes to console
speech using espeakup.
It'll speak for about 30 seconds, then I get a pulseaudio error
that looks like this.
assirtion 'p' failed at pulse/simple.c:273, function
pa_simple_write(). Aborting.
It's shot me down on every manjaro based distro I've tried.
Others have seemed to get speech in console, but I can't seem to
make it happen. Vinux has
it, and if i have to i'll put vinux on both machines, but that
seems a little nuts. I like vinux, and am using it now, but
would also like the
opportunity to work with these other distros. I've been able to
install my favorite programs, but trying to use them from a
terminal just doesn't read
well, so I need the console.
Oh, and before someone says google it, I've done that for a
week. Nothing helps. LOL!
