Hmmm, I'll take it into concideration. the thing is I use gnome. However, if I can use alsa with gnome then I could have speakup and use espeakup via the console. There is an entry on the pulse wikki in Archlinux labeled ALSA/dmix without grabbing hardware deviceMaybe I can use that. Or if gnome can run on alsa purely then that could probably be done. I've never tinkered with this sort of thing. I believe I've tried a few times years ago, but i never got it to work and would lose speech. However, I didn't have a computer at the time to ssh into my system to troubleshoot. Alonzo On 06/02/2016 02:17 PM, Janina Sajka

I've seen no stability issues with alsa, nor have I ever heard anyone complain of anything of the kind. Note also that Google adopted alsa along with the Linux kernel for Android. Note, further, that pulse depends on alsa. So, you wouldn't be getting stability with pulse, were also unstable. Janina Alonzo Cuellar writes: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.

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. Janina Alonzo Cuellar writes: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. alonzo On 05/26/2016 09:32 AM, Jude DaShiell wrote: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.

You should be able to google how to do that on your distro. HTH, Willem On Wed, 25 May 2016, Mark Peveto wrote: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!
