Low Speakup volume in Ubuntu?

Have a look at

/etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak-generic.conf

In there, find the line that says:

GenericVolumeAdd        10

and change it to read

GenericVolumeAdd        100

Then, save the file, and restart speech-dispatcher/speechd-up for good
measure, though I don't remember if I did that or not. Also, I don't
remember if gnome-speech talks to espeak directly, or through
speech-dispatcher. If it does talk to espeak via speech-dispatcher,
then this will of course effect your speech in orca as well. Hth.

This is a little frustrating, but at least I've confirmed that the system works as intended for the most part.  I can modprobe speakup_sftsyn anyway.
