Re: [orca-list] speech bug or linux bug

[Peter Vágner <pvagner pvagner tk>]

Hello,


I am afraid this might really be related to pulseaudio.

For me it happens on a fresh install of pulseaudio. When plugging or 
unplugging headphones pulseaudio card profile is changed and initially 
it also affects the volume that it might become muted.

If you have multimedia keys, try to unmute or increase the volume 
blindly. After doing this it should no longer mute when plugging / 
unplugging headphones - at least I managed to make it work on two 
laptops recently.


Greetings


Peter
