Hi Herman, here is my situation right now: The GenericVolumeAdd and GenericVolumeMultiply settings in /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak-generic.conf are both 100. Also, I have turned debugging on in espeak-generic.conf so I can see what is going on with the module. If I type: espeak "This is a test." then spd-say "This is a test." the second time is much louder than the first, and should not be since the default volume is supposed to be the same. Looking further into this, I find from /var/log/speech-dispatcher.log: Sun Jun 3 15:21:25 2007 [765657]: child: synth command = |echo "This is a test." | espeak -w /tmp/espeak.wav -v en -s 160 -a 200 -p 50 --stdin && aplay /tmp/espeak.wav| Notice the "-a 200" on the espeak command line above. Speech-dispatcher is setting the espeak volume to maximum, which is not what I would expect with those settings.
