Jookia's page lists one solution to the problem. The other solution which I personally use is to get rid of pulseaudio since I don't need it. If you do that, you will want to change the output from pulseaudio to libao in /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf if you still want to use orca.

I shrunk the Windows partition and installed Ubuntu 22.04 (why ubuntu? because Lenovo claimed that Ubuntu 22.04 is "Certified" on this device).
