Re: [orca-list] Debian Accessibility

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

If you have hdmi on your computer or some mice attached the sound board 
selection may be getting confused and pointing at a device that's not a 
sound board.  What happens when you don't press enter to use that first 
sound board?  The two machines I have one has hdmi on it and the other 
only usb but I have two sets of speakers.  So I could try debian on the 
machine with hdmi and put two sets of speakers on that machine and find 
out if debian installer thinks it finds three sound boards on that 
machine.  Usually with hdmi conflicts, sound board selection will think 
it found a sound board in slot 0 but that'll be your hdmi and without 
hdmi speakers that won't work.
