Tried sending this to the list and got a message about it being too long, so here we are again. The exported errors are at a link which I will give below. I put in the new TalkingArch cd. I heard yammering about choosing a sound card, listen for the beep, blah blah, press any key, yack yack. All that went well, I heard a beep and pressed enter twice. No espeak. I did /bin/bash speaker-test heard the hiss, so alsa appeared to be working well. Fired up brltty killall brltty brltty -b al -d ttyS0 espeak "hello" Saw a whole screen of errors, which I redirected to a text file. pasted below. Not knowing what was important and not, the whole thing is here. Audio configuration is a sound blaster live card, and a disabled onboard audio sound chip. It is this latter which I believe is causing the problem. Ok, scratch that, as of this new writing, even with the hcip re enabled, I still get the errors. Everything else seems to work except espeak. What is happening here? The link to the file with the errors is: http://opopanax.net/speakup.txt
