Hello Jude, To investigate further, please run this command as root: alsa-info.sh --no-upload --output alsa.txt then just press Enter to acknowledge the message saying: "Your ALSA information is in alsa.txt" and send me alsa.txt. Maybe next time post on the Slint mailing list as this could be considered off-topic here. Also, PulseAudio is not in concern as none of the screen readers rely on it in Slint (well, to be 100% accurate, loading the RHVoice module of speech-dispatcher spawns a pulse process, but it dies after a few seconds, even if a RHVoice voice is in use). As an aside I will request to Olga that the the dependency to PulseAudio be removed if possible.
