Does Orca start with braille too?

Why not, did you check the file?
What happens when you type:
sudo brltty
on a console?

Type on a console:
sudo update-rc.d brltty defaults
and check the screen echo. If you read, that there is already a startup
link, type:
sudo update-rc.d -f brltty remove
and then
sudo update-rc.d brltty defaults
Reboot your machine. Is Brltty there?
If not, check the file /etc/default/brltty and set it to "yes".
Reboot and check again.

What do you mean with that? I use an Alva Satellite 544 connected via
USB, and it wokrs.

That's clear, because the system detected it as plugged hardware. Detection and
proper setup are two different stories.

See the steps above.
