Once the package is installed, you can run as root: asoundconf is-active asoundconf list This gives you a list of the available devices you can use as your default sound card. Find the name of the device you want to use, your USB speakers in this case and run, still as root asoundconf set-default-card where is the name listed in the asoundconf list command for your USB speakers. The final step is to run systemctl restart espeakup which will force espeakup to run using your default sound card, which you have set to your USB speakers. Now you can either run asoundconf reset-default-card as root if you no longer wish to use your USB speakers, or just leave things as they are. For your GNOME stuff, pulseaudio should still take care of most of the rest of your sound. Hope this helps. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ... She calls her cake, Kyle?"
