Speakup Digest, Vol 41, Issue 47

[Albert E. Sten-Clanton]

Hi, Mika!  Just thought I'd let you know that I got speech from the sound card after a friend connected it to a different port.  I still had trouble getting software speech to work right, but I think it's now working properly.  

For anyone, is there a way to speed up the software speech beyond the range of the speakup volume control?  At rate 9, it's a lot slower than the speech from my TripleTalk.  Thanks!

Al

If soundtest reports "It looks like sound works for you. :-)" it's
very probably that the mixer settings aren't ok. Check output of
'aumix -q' (compare with another, working system for example) and
whether 'amixer set Front unmute 1; amixer set Front 75%' helps.
