Re: [orca-list] volume?

["John G. Heim" <jheim math wisc edu>]

Well, its version 9.10. I don't generally use ubuntu and I'm a little iffy 
on the code names.

I no longer think its a volume issue because its doing the same thing with a 
USB headset. I was able to do an lsmod and saw that the USB sound modules 
were loaded as well as the modules for the virtual sound card. Even the 
alsa-oss driver was loaded.

The google seems to be saying that you need to uninstall pulseaudio. 
Whatever. I am doing this for a friend and I think I'm going to give up. 
She's got a ubuntu virtual machine with everything working except sound so 
she can take it from there.

PS: I did that lsmod by logging in, opening a gnome-terminal window, 
changing to root, piping lsmod to a file, copied the file to another machine 
via scp, and then opened the file in a text editor. This is how I found out 
what modules were loaded. Anyway, that's why I'm giving up. Its too hard to 
fix anything if the sound itself doesn't work.
