Re: [orca-list] Sound issues in Ubuntu Mate 19.04 and 19.10

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

I see exactly what Nick is describing below on my Ubuntu 16.04 system. I 
tried a configuration change someone suggested, but that caused worse 
problems, so I undid that change. Just as with Nick, since it clears up 
after half a minute or so, it doesn't really bother me.
