-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Getting espeak to switch cards was no problem. I just told Pulseaudio to direct espeak to my USB speaker and that did it. I used pavucontrol from within GNOME to do it, but I believe you can do it through pactl as well. That's one reason I like using Pulseaudio, I can direct audio where I want it regardless which program is generating it. I haven't gone into the espeakup source yet, but I notice that espeakup depends on libasound. That would suggest to me that espeakup is not actually having espeak do the audio output for some reason, but is interacting with ALSA directly at least for part of the process. Your issue plus mine insisting on always opening the first card regardless of what I tell ALSA to do would indicate this. Your issue about invalid sample rate suggests that espeakup is trying to output to the same card that Pulseaudio is currently using.
