Re: [orca-list] Strange sound issue

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hi Devin,

this depends on your audio settings, either the default ones provided by the
distribution you use or your customized ones.

So to help you we need to know which distribution and version you use 
and the
customization you made if any.

As an aside Orca by itself is not involved, as it relies on 
speech-dispatcher
for setting the audio output.

Cheers, Didier
