Hi Janina, that actually makes sense to me, but lets suppose we're in the situation that I am in, where I have been playing with Debian Wheezy amd64 version, and wish to have both environments available. Speakup is working fine so far, but even with a USB soundcard also connected, when gnome starts, I am unable to even start Orca ( for some reason) so how can I tell it to use a different soundcard? I may be confused here a bit. Also, I am waiting until someone is nearby so as we can see if there is an error onscreen. Sorry if it seems a little rambly. Marcel
