Re: [orca-list] problem with Alsa



Hi, removing pulse and using alsa was comparitively easier in hardy.
it's not that simple in intrepid. However, after googling quite a bit
I found many tutorials which were very helpful and I have been able to
use alsa successfully. please note that removing pulseaudio through
apt-get remove command can damage the setup irreparably.
Thanks,
Aruni.

Hello, when I was trying to use ubuntu 8.04 pulse  frustrated me and my
atemps at getting multichannel sound to work with a responsive speech synth.
This is a sad thing to say, but I think that i'm probably going to be stuck
in my windows world for a long time.
This reason is because ubuntu and opensuse are the only ones that can be
installed with out a hardware synth or braille display.
If I could use Linux or some alternitive operating system besides windows,
with a responsive speech synth, i'd be all over that. I am considering a
switch to mac.
sorry for the rambling offtopic post

As you may know, I am desperately trying to configure speech-dispatcher on
Ubuntu 8:10. I was able to make it work through Pulseaudio, but it does have
some latency problems. When I run speech-dispatcher as a service, it uses
Alsa, and it works very well except all other sounds are gone. I have tried
everything you told me here. I think I have Alsa correctly installed. I
changed the sounds in preferences/sound to alsa, and I configured
speech-dispatcher (for my user account) to use alsa. Doing this didn't help
at all. Then I tried uninstalling pulseaudio, which locked me out of my
system (at least using gnome). I guess it was trying to play the little
sound when you log in and it couldn't, so it told me that my session lasted
less than 10 secconds etc... I had to use a console to reinstall pulseaudio,
and everything worked just fine. I don't understand why this is happening,
if I changed all sound output to alsa. Besides this, on preferences/sessions
there is an item for load
 ing pulseaudio modules, but nothing related to alsa. In
administration/services there is something about alsa (Alsa-utils) which I
activated, but I can't deactivate pulseaudio anywhere. What could I do?
Thanks!
