Re: [orca-list] Fedora 34, totally distorted speech in live CD

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

Does the distortion go away after a minute or so of use?


May be that the bug where sound distorts for a bit but returns under 
Fedora is back. It seemed to occur immediately after Pulse started.


And yeah, I thought some sort of speech-dispatcher upgrade fixes that, 
but did it get broken again under whatever this decade's Linux audio 
stack is? :P If Pipewire is using the same or similar initialization 
code, or if speech-dispatcher's interaction with Pipewire is triggering 
whatever conditions caused the former issues...might be worth looking into.
