Hello,
I agree. That said I currently can't use espeakup here since my system
uses Pulse. Maybe I'll get the urge to disable Pulseaudio and try Alsa.
this way I can use espeakup again.

Martin MacCormack has done so and he's not the only one to have done
it either. Probably what will benefit many will be an alsa linux wiki
describing circumstances under which whether using command line or
g.u.i. interfaces it's advantageous to uninstall pulseaudio and set
everything to work with alsa. Then installers will be able to read
and act accordingly.

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!
