What you just need is to look for where to get the information. The installer manual says to use s then enter, so that's what is supposed to work. The second source of information is the debian accessibility wiki page: http://wiki.debian.org/accessibility And see what is there about what information to provide in case of troubles: ? If speech synthesis does not come up, we need information to find out where the bug is. First and foremost, we need the exact URL where you have downloaded the installer image, otherwise we won't ever manage to find a bug which could only exist on the image you have used (and which has to be fixed too!) Inside the installer, press alt-f2 to switch to a shell console, press enter to start the shell, and type amixer scontrols and post the output to debian-accessibility at lists.debian.org so we can know whether a sound card was detected and what the volume level names are. If only an error message shows up, or if you do not have resources to be able to read the shell console, please try to run a live CD, make sound work with it, and post the output of lsmod to debian-accessibility at lists.debian.org so we can know what sound driver is missing. ?
