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?

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.

software speech works with vmware player 16 but not after installation of Debian testing
Hi, I used the s option to start speech as I am totally blind using this image. https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-testing-amd64-netinst.iso Speech worked fine and I liked the fact that the volume was of a highor level then in stable. I then installed the system making sure that vmware player 16 was set to use the Realtek sound card by default 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. I find that if I tell vmware player the sound card to use it works fine. Once the installation is complete I do the reboot and the virtual machine beeps at the boot prompt. I however get no software speech either in the mate desktop or in the console but the navigation keys for speakup do beep when I go to the top of the screen so I know it is installed and running. If I try to use espeak and enter text I get no sound. My question is why does the installer work successfully with all of the default software installed but not talk when it comes up after the installation completes? This same issue works with the stable network installer. I used the non-free image just so if vmware player needed anything it would have it and the normal iso image does the same thing.
