Low Speakup volume in Ubuntu?

[Zachary Kline]

Hi,
    Thanks, Greg.  This seemed to do the trick.
    However, I'm having a Speakup punctuation problem which I believe I 
remember seeing mentioned on this list before.
    I can't find info on how to fix this in the archives...
Any clue?
Thanks,
Zack.
