No, that is not what I mean. I am pleased to report that speakup is working fine with the apollo in debian wheezy. I was surprised to find this. I have not attempted software speech although I am sure it will work now that I have unmuted the sound card but given the choice, I prefer the hardware speech. I have not knowingly installed anything special to make it work but did use hardware speech throughout the wheezy install. hth > > I had to give up on wheezy because I couldn't get sound to work in gnome > and therefore couldn't use orca.
