creating a speakup cli cd

[Don Raikes]

No Iam getting no speech.

Even if I reboot the system, and run the following commands:

$ modprobe Speakup_soft
$ invoke-rc.d espeakup start

I still get the error about jack's not running, but if I press <enter> I am returnedto the command-line but no speech.

System: dell inspiron xxxx laptop I don't remember the exact version.

It seems in most cases that espeakup/espeak still works even though it says the jack server couldn't be started. Are you saying you aren't getting speech when you modprobe speakup_soft, and start espeakup by hand? If so, then have you tried doing:

invoke-rc.d espeakup start

after modprobe speakup_soft, instead of starting espeakup directly by hand?
