Re: [orca-list] Pitch changes with ALSA

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

Hi, Javier:

I have a similar setup, but am not seeing this problem at all.

I have Fedora 17, with pulse disabled. I'm using Speakup with TTSynth
and the Speakup Connector on one audio device. I have
Speech-Dispatcher-7.1 reconfigured for alsa and espeak working on a
second audio device for Orca. It's working perfectly well with
Orca-3.4.2.

Have you tried issuing simple strings to espeak and spd-say? e.g.:

espeak hello
spd-say hello

Do these commands return speech with correct pitch?
