The TalkingArch image has a script that is supposed to unmute the sound so that it starts talking correctly. If you are not getting speech, it's possible that your soundcard has an oddly named mixer control for either master or pcm output. Using your Vinux or other image that works, try running amixer with no arguments, installing it if necessary. Most Debian and Ubuntu derivatives will allow you to use sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install amixer or similar if it isn't already on the system. Running amixer without any additional parameters will allow you to find out the names of your mixer controls so you can set them properly from the TalkingArch CD. Hope this helps. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ... She calls her cake, Kyle?" Out of This World, season 2 episode 21 - "The Amazing Evie"
