Also, I don't remember if gnome-speech talks to espeak directly, or through speech-dispatcher. If it does talk to espeak via speech-dispatcher, then this will of course effect your speech in orca as well. Hth.

This is a little frustrating, but at least I've confirmed that the system works as intended for the most part. I can modprobe speakup_sftsyn anyway. > Any answers on why the volume is so low?
