Hello Michael, You can now set the volume for Speech Dispatcher in Orca preferences. If it doesn't work for you, get a newer version of Orca from SVN. The volume for speakup can be set in Speech Dispatcher's configuration files. Just put the following line to the end of your /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf: Include "clients/speechd-up.conf" And create the file /etc/speech-dispatcher/clients/spechd-up.conf as follows: # Local configuration for speechd-up BeginClient "*:speakup:*" DefaultPunctuationMode "some" #DefaultLanguage "en" DefaultRate 80 DefaultVolume -10 DefaultPitch 40 EndClient Of course, set the values according to your preference. Hope it helps Tomas
