[orca-list] Help Needed with Ubuntu 9.10, Orca and Sound Settings

[Edu Camargo <edumusico gmail com>]

Hello guys,

Sorry for not posting that much. I really want to contribute with 
something, as soon as I get some knowledge.

Well, I'm new to the linux world, so every help is important.

I've recently aquired a laptop and decided to test ubuntu on that 
machine. I've installed Ubuntu using the accessibility profile, but 
instead of installing directly, I decided to run Ubuntu from the live CD 
first, so I could setup Orca to run as expected (since choosing screen 
reader on the accessibility options and then installing directly wasn't 
working). Everything worked perfectly, from running from live CD to the 
instalation.

Then I needed to setup sound, and then I've received a message: "waiting 
for sound system to respond". Later I discovered that this is a problem 
faced by the masses.

I've read on the Gnome's website that, even when you try to fix this bug 
by removing the file .pulse_a11y nostart (or something similar which I 
don't know where is located), all sound settings become available but 
orca acts irresponsible, causing a lot of chops in its speech.

So, before I go any further, I need some instructions on how to fix this 
problem with the sound system. Where can I get step-by-step instructions 
or is there anyone on the list who can help me on this?

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Needless to say, wish you guys a wonderful 2010.

Peace,

Edu Camargo.
