Hi, Mika! Just thought I'd let you know that I got speech from the sound card after a friend connected it to a different port. I still had trouble getting software speech to work right, but I think it's now working properly. For anyone, is there a way to speed up the software speech beyond the range of the speakup volume control? At rate 9, it's a lot slower than the speech from my TripleTalk. Thanks!

If soundtest reports "It looks like sound works for you. :-)" it's very probably that the mixer settings aren't ok. Check output of 'aumix -q' (compare with another, working system for example) and whether 'amixer set Front unmute 1; amixer set Front 75%' helps. -mika- -- ,'"`. http://www.michael-prokop.at/ ( grml.org -?
