I think the classic fix for this probme is to recompile espeak to use pulseaudio. Here is a link to a bug report explaining (sort of) what to do. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481651 I think we had a discussion of this point back in November of 2013 but i can't find the thread on google. I am still running debian squeeze on my every day work machine and all my other machines now use sonar linux. So I haven't tried to get speakup and orca to play nice for several months. But I know I got speakup and orca to work in wheezy by following the advice on that bug report. The real problem was that the version of orca in debian wheezy didn't work. Speakup does work with software speech in sonar linux. On 03/06/14 19:42, Jason White wrote: > Kyle <kyle4jesus at gmail.com> wrote: >> GNOME depends on Pulseaudio.
