Re: Re: No sound From Orca after a Strech Install
Hi, Regarding https://lists.debian.org/debian-accessibility/2017/01/msg00105.html Last night I upgraded my Debian 8 to stretch via apt-get dist-upgrade and still there is no speech in orca. Just wanted to let you know.

Oh now you mention it, I know where that problem lies. I'll put a fix into the packaging for Debian and get a Debian Dev to upload. Luke

I had the same issue on my Sid install after upgrading speech-dispatcher (or espeak?) to the version that brought espeak-ng. I did the same, selecting the engine manually, but there definitely seem to be a problem somewhere -- for me, at least through an upgrade path. Regards, Colomban

I tried that and it didn't turn out to be the problem, however, it did prevent me from having to change hdmi to internal speakers and listed the speakers as the first device in sound prefs so it is a great help. I did find a solution to my problem. In the Orca preferences by changing the option from default speech synthesizer to espeak-ng on the Voice tab things work properly. I think that for some reason, on my hardware, no speech synthesizer is selected by default. Can you reproduce this with a fresh install on your hardware? Thanks.

Mmm, I'm afraid it might be the same kind of issue as I had. I've put in /etc/modprobe.d/perso.conf this: options snd-hda-intel index=1,0 which exchanges the two cards, so HDMI comes second. Otherwise I don't get any output through pulseaudio. Samuel
