It seems that speech is working fine but I can't play any sound files. Alsa complains that it can't find a device. Yet, my machine talks fine with Speakup, espeak and the espeakup connector. When I do a 'aplay -l' I get the following: aplay: device_list:235: no soundcards found... Any idea what I could be missing here? Thanks for the help.
