Re: No sound after installing debian
Hella Matthew, There is a dedicated mailing list for Debian accessibility: https://lists.debian.org/debian-accessibility/ >From what you describe I would surmise that you do have sound after install but lack accessibility features like an audio screen reader. Sorry, I have never installed or set up a system for a blind person, so I do not know what is really important or difficult in this process. Here are three links that could of help: - Accessibility in the Debian wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility - the accessibility project on the Debian website: https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-accessibility/ - Orca screen reader wiki (part of the Gnome standard Debian Desktop Environment): https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y-screen-reader.html.en
No sound after installing debian
Hi all, I am a blind user of Debian and have made several attempts to install Debian both stretch and testing with the same strange problem. I have speech during the install prosses and the system installs with no problem. How ever after booting into the new system the speech is not there. I tried going to alsamixer with root access and razing the sound valume with no luck. This happens both with the alfa and stable installs. I tried with both isos installing with a gnome install as well as a mate install. I don't recall ever having this problems with this. I do not have any bare bones system to try with so using a virtual machine. Any one here have any ideas on how to rectify getting speech back aftr installing. Thanks again. Matthew
