Hi. I am using Ubuntu 9.04 on an acer aspire 1 net book. I have to use the orca
screen reader and I use speech-dispatcher as the back-end speech service. When
running the orca/speech-dispatcher setup with pulse audio I was able to get
system sounds and speech. However due to the speech being laggy I switched to
using Alsa and removed pulse audio with the aptitude command. Now I can have
either speech with the configuration mentioned above or play MP3s etc. I can
not do both simultaneously and have to kill orca at the terminal in order to
get my machine to play MP3s.
I have upgraded Alsa driver, lib and utils to the latest versions as of about 3
weeks ago and an article I read said that Dmix should be enabled by default. I
hoped that this would solve my problems but it hasn't. I don't know much about
the internal workings of Alsa but really don't want to have to switch distro
because of this.
Help much appreciated.
Jen!
