Hi all,
In a similar vane, is there a way to set the Voice used by Orca to
something else than the very bad attempt at a US accent from Espeak? My
keyboard does not have an Insert key, that is why I don't simply open
the Orca preferences.
Warm regards,

Ah a mix of both ways sorted it, it's now less loud

I know of two things you can do to set the speech volume in lightdm.
The easiest option is to open Orca preferences and set the volume
under the voice tab. However, this will only set the speech volume.
Since this is all you really need here, it shouldn't cause a problem.
It also has the benefit of setting the volume immediately right on
the lightdm screen, so you won't have to reboot or log out of your
session to wait for the change to be effective.
The other method is a bit more complicated, but it will set your
system and application volumes, as well as your default device if you
have more than one and want to use something else. First, login as
your normal user and set your volumes the way you want them. Then as
root, copy your user's .config/pulse to /var/lib/lightdm/.config like
so, noting that the # at the beginning of this line represents a root
shell and should not be copied:
# cp -R /home/<username>/.config/pulse /var/lib/lightdm/.config/
replacing <username> with the name of your normal unprivileged user.
Now, also as root, run
# chown -R lightdm:lightdm /var/lib/lightdm/.config/pulse
This will set the ownership of that configuration folder to lightdm
so that it will be able to read it. On the next reboot, lightdm
should speak at a more acceptable volume. Hope this helps.
