I have no problem at all over here with antergos. The only thing
is that I do not use mate desktop. I only use gnome. You are
talking to someone who would not use a gui at all if he didn't
have to. The only reason this is on here is that there are so
many problems anymore with getting speakup to work and getting
onto some web sites I need.
On the subject of orca, I have had this install for quite some
time and have never had a problem with it. All the packages on
here are updated as often as they come out. Also, my girlfriend
is running antergos on her machine and she is having no problem.
In conclusion, it must be a mate problem. Try gnome just to see
if it works. If it doesn't, try all your sound devices to see if
there is something muted somewhere.
If it does work with gnome, this might be the desktop you have to
go with. If not, and all your hardware is unmuted, I have no idea
what's going on there. Everything works fine here and there is no
way we can reproduce your problem except to say try installing on
a different machine if you have one.
These are the kinds of problems you are unlikely ever to find
solutions to on the web. They are so rare that there is probably
no documentation of them. Just try gnome first, if it doesn't
work, try unmuting the sound card to see what happens. If this
doesn't help, try installing on a different machine. Just make
sure you have the latest iso of the antergos installer. 2018.2 is
already out.
Hope this helps.

Hi all
This is the fourth or fifth time I’ve tried
to install antergos 18.02. The live image works fine, but the
installed system will not speak. Running spd-conf doesn’t fix
the issue, speech dispatcher doesn’t speak, even when running
spd-say hi. Running espeak hi results in speech. Can someone
else confirm this bug by downloading antergos from www.antergos.com
and installing it? I do not believe this is an orca bug, but
it might be either a speech dispatcher or a security issue of
some sort. Orca successfully starts, I can open the
preferences but there’s no speech. I’m desperate to upgrade to
mate 1.20 and finally ditch windows, which I’ve been forced to
use to have a system to send emails from and troubleshoot. I
could always use Ubuntu mate, but Ubuntu mate’s version of
mate has some non standard indicators which seem to make the
mate panel less accessible. Not inaccessible, just a little
bit less accessible. I don’t mean to sound so frustrated but
this issue is driving me nuts. I can’t pin it down.
Thanks
