Hello,

I started the installer in qemu VM with 3 sound cards.

No issue with the installer, chose 1 6 10 12,
started the installed system, logged-in in lightdm
with speech, orca running in Mate, espeakup was running
with the expected voice fr-fr.
I couldn't manage to switch to a tty though although
I told quemu to grab the keys with Ctrl+Alt+G,
this switched to a tty of the host so I don't know
if espeakup would speak in that situation.

On bare metal, no luck: the installer could not detect
my sound card, so no  speech in the installer.

It made 9 unsuccessful attempts, told it would tried
other cards, seemed to gave up.

I have only one sound card.

That's weird as I have no issue with Slint's installer,
also using espeakup.

I attach my alsa info, stripped from useless overweight.

Best,

Didier
