ok what kernel version are you running? also when you compile your new kernel from source does it come up ok and speak ok like it should? if so you have configured your speech in if not do a cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig hit the down errow until you find speakup type y, then choose your synth down at the bottom it ask what default synth that you want to choose put your synth in there instead of none type the escape key go down to sound type y chose alsa it will give you a list of sound drivers chose your sound driver there are a few other choices under there that you should choose pcm is one of them anyway on any of that menu you can hit ? and most of the time it will tell you what it is for and why or if you need it. so where are you now? randy turner On Sun, 28 May 2006, Tyler Littlefield wrote: > I have the kernel source, and I have gotten the checkout script and ran it. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "randy turner" <rturner222 at sbcglobal.net> > Cc: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> > Sent: Sunday, May 28, 2006 6:06 PM > Subject: Re: sound and linux? > > >> hi tyler, >> have you read the doc /usr/src/linux/README yet?? >> do you have a new kernel source installed yet? >> are you running a 2.4 kernel or a 2.6 kernel? >> i need to knowwhat you have done so far? >> i am using slackware myself >> in mycase i have the slackware cds >> so i install the kernel source from that. >> or if i want a later kernel i go to kernel.org >> and download the kernel from there. >> get in the /usr/src directory and install the kernel like this example >> gzip -cd linux-2.6.16.14.tar.gz | tar xvf - >> ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.14 /usr/src/linux >> when you get it installed >> read the file in the /usr/src/linux directory README >> go up to linux-speakup.org >> and get there checkout script and download speakup from cvs >> but before we go too much farther tell me where you are at. >> >> >> On Sun, 28 May 2006, Tyler Littlefield wrote: >> >>> I'm using debian. >>> I want to rebuild, but I am very sketchy on how to get the hardware and >>> stuff. >>> ----- Original Message ----- >>> From: "randy turner" <rturner222 at sbcglobal.net> >>> Cc: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." >>> <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> >>> Sent: Sunday, May 28, 2006 3:58 PM >>> Subject: Re: sound and linux? >>> >>> >>>> hi tyler >>>> well if it were me, >>>> i would install new kernel source >>>> patch in speakup from the cvs >>>> then i would look under /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound >>>> if you have never done any kernel building i would look at the >>>> readme file under /usr/src/linux >>>> it talks abot how to rebuild a kernel >>>> what distro are you using? >>>> randy >>>> >>>> On Sat, 27 May 2006, Tyler Littlefield wrote: >>>> >>>>> Hay, >>>>> I was told to do a modprobe a while back for emu-10k1, and that hasn't >>>>> helped, I still don't have any sound, >>>>> Are there any other ideas? >>>>> Thanks, >>>>> _______________________________________________ >>>>> Speakup mailing list >>>>> Speakup at braille.uwo.ca >>>>> http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >>>>> >>>> >>>> _______________________________________________ >>>> Speakup mailing list >>>> Speakup at braille.uwo.ca >>>> http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >>> >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Speakup mailing list >>> Speakup at braille.uwo.ca >>> http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >>> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Speakup mailing list >> Speakup at braille.uwo.ca >> http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >
