Hi,
Seems that the problem happens if you use the same login to access speakup and the GUI interface. If you use a login in speakup different than the login used in the graphical environment, you can use orca and speakup at the same time.

Hi all

Subject says it all, I find that I cannot get orca and speakup to run at the 
same time on my installation of ubuntu 11.10. It's either one or the other, but 
never both at the same time. I can tell that both of them are running. For 
example now, I can hear speakup. I can confirm that orca is running because I 
see the start up splash thing when orca executes, I just don't hear anything.

It seems like part of my problem has to do with running pulseaudio in system 
mode. I downloaded the pulsesystem and pulseuser scripts, made by the vinux 
team, and executed the pulsesystem script in /etc/local/bin after changing its 
permissions to 755. I restarted the machine, and same result, orca mute, 
speakup running.

It seems that I am getting this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/886700

when I try to execute

espeak hello

in the gnome-terminal, which suggests that my problem might have something to 
do with alsa. Any ideas?

Justin Harford
