sound and speakup howto

sound and speakup howto

[Kristoffer Gustafsson]

HI.
Now I've gotten my soundcard to work as I wanted to have it.
The thing is that you need to turn of digital output(jack) in order to get it to work.
SO now I'm thinking about putting together a sound and speakup install howto for debian squeeze, if any of you are interested?
speakup already comes built into the kernel, so you just need to load the speech module you want to use.

I only ask for a little help in return.
I've gotten trouble building speechd-up, it says that some library of speechd is missing, and that I shall read INSTALL.
I've installed everything with speechd, and libspeechd, nothing happens.
Could you help me please?

Have you tried using the speechd-up package from the GRML repository? 
You can find the GRML repository at http://deb.grml.org and it follows 
the standard layout of debian repositories (look in folder "pool", then 
in "main", look in "s" and then go to the speechd-up directory).

To answer the question of compiling from source. Are you sure you have 
all the required *-dev packages, remember debian separates the headers 
into separate packages.

Hi.
I got it working yesterday.
Don't ask me how I did, I just installed virtualbox, and qemu, and that 
installed some libraries that made speechd-up to work.
I installed a .deb package that I had found.

I don't know what was wroing, here is a speechd-up log from yesterday, with 
errors, Ok, there are softsynth errors here, but I didn't have any other 
modules loaded at the time.
[Mon Jun 14 00:06:27 2010] speechd: Speechd-speakup starts!
[Mon Jun 14 00:06:27 2010] speechd: Error while openning the device in 
read/write mode 2,No such file or directory
[Mon Jun 14 00:06:27 2010] speechd: Trying to open the device in the old 
way.
[Mon Jun 14 00:06:27 2010] speechd: Error while openning the device in read 
mode 2,No such file or directory
[Mon Jun 14 00:06:27 2010] speechd: ERROR! Unable to open soft synth device 
(/dev/softsynth)
What could have been wrong?
