Hello,
Yes, I am suggesting to paste that gst-launch command into a
terminal and hitting enter.
A generated 440 HZ tone should start playing. To stop it press
ctrl+c .
If you get that sound then gstreamer is working on your system
and this is most likelly outdated orca package packaged in whonix.
On some distros the package is named gnome-orca on others it's
just orca . Looking at debian buster gnome-orca is just
transitional package which in turn installs orca.
Also further look to the debian's apt-cache reveals that debian
buster includes orca 3.31.1 . And that's definatelly too old when
it comes to this particular issue.
I understand that whonix suggests and installs packages from the
debian stable branch.
Luckily and huge thanks to Samuel and other great people on the
debian a11y team there is orca 3.38 in the buster backports.
And yeah, whonix has a paragraph on installing packages from
debian backports on their wiki, so if you can, try following this
little one: https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Install_Software#Backports

Just to clarify what you mean before attempting it, you mean to
run those commands in the terminal and see if the output a sound?
I am just clarifying that you are not talking about if I can
output sound such as from a browser, etc.
I was thinking that it was a version issue when I couldn’t
even check that. I will be attempting to get it to make sound in
a few hours when I have cited assistance. With or without that
working, would it be a temporary fix to install a different
version of orca such as gnome?
Hello,
The issue is that it is not somehow possible to
initialize gstreamer in your environment.
Some sanity checks have been added in orca 3.36.6 so if
you are running that version or more up to date one, then
this should be fixed for you.
Can you try if you can play some sounds with gst-launch?
gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! pulsesink

Hi,
Spoke with the developer of and he recommended to run the following:
Dsudo apt update
Dsudo apt install orca
The download seemed to work, yet when trying to run or even running the command to check the version I received the following error, “AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_bus'”
does anyone have an idea of how I can fix this? Do I need to try a different version of orca or what do you think the problem is?
Thank you,
-Reece
