I'm guessing you mean speakup worked with software speech after you finished the install. I don't think speakup ever worked with serial synths since its been in the kernel. With squeeze, you could install a package of kernel modules. That package worked with serial synths. I had to give up on wheezy because I couldn't get sound to work in gnome and therefore couldn't use orca. But speakup worked fine with software speech and it worked with my hardware synth after I recompiled the kernel with my patch. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Barrett" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 9:01 AM Subject: serial synths and speakup > Hi, > > Noting the comments on the list regarding speakup and serial synths and > the latest kernels, wonder if any one knows which kernel versions are > affected. > > I have just installed debian wheezy and as I could not get the software > speech to work during the install, I used my apollo. > > Interestingly, speakup came up without problem when I booted in to the new > system. > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > >
