Re: [orca-list] Speech-dispatcher Upgrade Broken on Arch



Hello,

How does audacious produce sound?
Are you sure it communicates to pulseaudio?
Do you also have pulse-audio-alsa installed?
Is your pulseaudio starting with your user X session via dbus activation or is it starting as soon as you are trying to play audio either by using speech-dispatcher or audacious?

Please try to understand what's going on and please try to avoid repeating the same thing over and over again. I'm sorry to say this but your arguments sound to me the way if you were about to say that someone else has broken that for you and your are demanding a fix without you doing nothing to help to figure it out.

Greetings

Peter

But sounds are playing, I've tested it with audacious etcetera.

Only speechd can not use pulse.

Hello,

It should work like this on Arch linux.
* User starts orca.
* Orca uses python-speechd to communicate to user specific speech-dispatcher instance. If speech-dispatcher is not yet running, it will spawn it automagically.
* Speech-dispatcher will start and try to load either all available output modules or those configured in either system-wide config or user specific speech-dispatcher config.
* By default speech-dispatcher is configured to play TTS sound via pulseaudio.
* As soon as speech-dispatcher has to produce audio it tries to connect to the user session specific pulseaudio instance by using libpulse. On Arch linux auto spawn is disabled in the pulseaudio configuration however pulseaudio is inwoked via systemd socket activation as soon as it's needed.

So if you still have issues you need to understand what I'm trying to explain to you, poke at your system before starting orca, identify your sound devices are working as they should, if yes then find out if speech-dispatcher and pulseaudio are running prior to starting orca, if they are already running, can they produce sound, start orca, poke at your system again exploring speech-dispatcher and pulseaudio processes and their logs taking into account what we are talking about here.
Also this is all with the default arch linux configuration i.e. no changes to speech-dispatcher and pulseaudio config files including system-wide and user specific configs. If you have tweaked the configs you need to take into account what you have tweaked in there while troubleshooting all this.

I'm really sorry I can't really diagnose this for you as it is all working fine for me on three different Arch linux installs I've tried this on so far.
I will be installing Arch on a brand new machine in a few days, so if I discover something usefull I will report it.

Greetings

Peter

This just means that either speech-dispatcher doesn't know where is the socket (the file to be accessed to 'talk' to pulseaudio), or is not allowed to access pulseaudio

There can be many reasons for that, but first please answer these already asked questions:
Which exact command do you type to start speech-dispatcher?
Why not just let Orca start speech-dispatcher which will then connect itself to pulseaudio (or to another sound server, depending of its settings)?

Just I wrote, that I have an error logs, that sd_espeak_ng or another can not connect to the pulse audio. WHat more do you need from me to try to help me? W dniu 06.01.2019 o 20:09, Mallard pisze:
Thank you, Peter. How can I get to the log, please? Ciao, Ollie Il 06/01/2019 20:26, Peter Vágner via orca-list ha scritto:
