Re: [orca-list] Problems with Audio in Ubuntu 9.04

I've tryed to install 9.4 version of Ubuntu. The only sound I was able to
hear after rebooting my computer was a login screen initial sound. When I
tried to log in I didn't hear anuy sound at all. Conclusion: If you are
blind and have no sighted assistance you'd better stay away from This
version of ubuntu, unless you are asking for troubles.

Subject: [orca-list] Problems with Audio in Ubuntu 9.04

Hello list,
Some time ago I had upgraded from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04. Installation 
seemed to have gone through all right, but when I started the system 
after shutting down for the night, there was no more audio at all.
I thought it must have been an issue deriving from upgrading rather 
than installing from scratch.
Yesterday I installed Ubuntu 9.04 again, from scratch this time, and 
speech worked eprfectly well - but braille didn't work at all.
Once we solved the braille problem, audio disappeared again. My 
husband and I managed to get it back simply by increasing the volume, 
but after that Orca started speaking funny, pronouncing only part of the
words.

Has anyone else experienced this sort of issue, and have you found 
any workaround?

I am all but an expert, as I've tried many times to work with Ubuntu, 
with very limited success for various reasons. I'm pretty 
discouraged, but I don't want to give up yet.

Thanks in advance for your patience and help.
Ciao,
Ollie
