progress beeps in orca that comes with debian 9 also known as stretch
Is anyone aware of how to make the progress beeps work in orca besides totally pulling pulse audio out of the system? Taking pulse out was going to be my first choice, but sincd spd-conf doesn't work, I can't do that.\ Thanks. Mark Peveto Registered Linux user number 600552 Everything happens after coffee!

Do you have access to this system, or have you reinstalled Debian on the same machine? If you have access, try to copy the hidden directory called ".config/speech-dispatcher" to the new system, which should get you around spd-conf. Alternatively, you can copy /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf to a .config/speech-dispatcher like this: mkdir -p ~/.config/speech-dispatcher cp /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf ~/.config/speech-dispatcher Open ~/.config/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf and search for a line containing "AudioOutputMethod". Go to a new, blank line and insert: AudioOutputMethod "libao". That at least gets rid of the pulse dependency.

I tried copying over those directories, but sadly no progress beeps as of yet. I must be missing something. Mark Peveto Registered Linux user number 600552 Everything happens after coffee!
