Hello Matthew,
Then if you can hear clicking sound as you are manipulating the volume slider I think your sound is working.
This might be a speech-dispatcher configuration issue.
I think you should try running gnome-terminal blindly and continue as Jason has recommended.
Can you hear beeps when navigating to the beginning / end of a line in the gnome-terminal?
Can you type in
Espeak hello
Spd-say hello
Into the terminal and observing if these are producing sound?
I'm not sure if you might have missed a part of my earlier message where I've asked about your speech-dispatcher config, because the more we are chatting on this the more I guess this might be an SD configuration issue.
Greetings
Peter
Petter,
I am using gdm. I do not have another machine thaty I could use to ssh into. I do have sound in gnome as if I go up to the top bar and select the valume control I get the poping sound when moving the slider with the arrow keys. Also, as mentioned If I use speakup, I have speech just not in gnome. I have even tried disabling speakup thing that orca and speakup were fighting over each other. No I don’t even have speech in gdm so something is going on for sure.

Hello,
There are a few things you can try.
Can you verify if pulseaudio is running after starting orca? If gnome is running and you try to SSH from another computer can you play sounds e.g. by running speaker-test?
Can you use pacmd list-sinks to look if pulseaudio is not muted or if there migt be other obvious issues?Have you tweaked speech-dispatcher configuration somehow? When you use speech withouth gnome what setup you are using, speakup and espeakup?
How are you starting gnome, are you using GDM? Do you have sound when GDM session is showing? Have you tried to start gnome using startx / xinit?Greetings
Peter

A couple of days ago, I reported that I was having problems with orca in gnome after installing arch. I was able to do some more testing and conferm that orca does come up after running orca in the run box in gnome. I am also unable to get sounds in gnome such as the valume sound in gnomre. If I type spd hello, I get nothing. Perhaps this is a problem with speech dispatcher. I do how ever get speech in the consil with speakup just not in the gui with orca. Any ideas on this one. I really do not want to reinstall arch if I can help. I never had this problem. BTW, I used the lates iso talking arch image on the talking arc site. HTH.
