Take a look, if you can, at the versions you have for alsa-lib and
alsa-utils.

If version 1.2.5, you may want to try downversioning to 1.2.4.

While I didn't notice 1.2.5 breaking speech-dispatcher, it's reported to
break espeakup and I can personally confirm that.

Additionally, alsa-utils has broken at least one app, amixer. And, it's
setting volumes to 0 and the true/false flag on some devices to false.
This last will clearly keep one from hearing sound.

So, I don't know specifically about Fedora. I can personally confirm the
above with Arch as of this past weekend.

Best,

Janina

It is a bug. Use fedora mate 34. Be careful though, speech might be
permanently disabled after you restart. I haven't figured out if it is my
G14 causing the problem, or a design bug somewhere in fedora.

Hey all

So wanted to give Fedora V34 work station addition a try.
After installing it to the computer, I was unable to get orca up and running
to complete the setup process.

Is this a bug with the 34 work station version?
