Hi, Here is all of those commands that had output the first sound card as I only had one in the virtual machine. Based on this what can you tell about this virtual machine as I am able to ssh into it?

Re: software speech works with vmware player 16 but not after installation of Debian testing
Hi, The system I am using for my host is a windows 10 pro 64 bits system and with vmware player I have it set as Debian 10 64 bits as there is no version 11. If I install the ssh server task along with the rest of the system during the installation on the host system should I be able to ssh into the guest with the networking in vmware player set to nat? When I hit backspace in the virtual machine logd in as root or a normal user I do get the pc speaker beeps. If I can login as root on the virtual machine what command can I use to unmute the sound card?

Could it be that (for whatever reason) the sound driver on the installed system does not take care of unmuting the card? rather then auto detecting or using the system sound card as if I do this the installation freezes at random points where I suddenly lose speech. It would be useful to debunk this as well actually. Samuel

That's supposed to work yes. > If I can login as root on the virtual machine what command > can I use to unmute the sound card? https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility provides amixer commands to see the levels and other information that can be useful: amixer -c 0 scontrols amixer -c 1 scontrols cat /proc/asound/cards echo /sys/class/sound/card*/id cat /sys/class/sound/card*/id cat /var/run/espeakup.card amixer -c 0 scontents amixer -c 1 scontents Depending on the result, that'll tell you exactly the name of the volume control to fix.
