Re: [orca-list] getting orca to work from soundcard #1 and audio from card #2

[Jeremy Lincicome <w0jrl1 gmail com>]

Andy,
There is in fact a way for you to use both sound cards. You need to
install pulseaudio volume control. From a terminal run: "sudo apt-get
install pavucontrol"
To use both sound cards, set your default card as the card that you want
your media to play through in system>preferences>sound. Then, go to
sound and video>pulseaudio volume control. You will be placed on the
output tab. Use flat review to find the speech-dispatcher application.
Left-click the button next to the application. The button will be
labeled with the same name as the sound card that speech-dispatcher is
currently going through. A window will pop up. Find the card that you
want to use and press enter. Then click the close button. Your settings
should persist after a reboot.

Hope this helps,
Jeremy
