Hi Janina
Yes... Pulse is not compatible with speakup. I do miss the console
environment. However, I've learned to life with the desktop
environment. Since I've not tried using a pure alsa system in ages...
I'm not sure how stable it is. Pulse has been very stable in my
experiences using the desktop.

If you're satisfied with working on the desktop alone, then you have
pulse support in Speech-Dispatcher and Orca. But this thread was about
console speech. I believe most of us who value the console environment
have not found pulse compatible with Speakup--which is what most use on
the console for a screen reader.

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.

Mark has to get rid of pulseaudio and all of its dependencies.

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!
