It's compiled into the kernel and = not as a module.=20 Looked for all speakup files. I saw speakup_soft. Has this replaced = speakup_sftsyn?=20 There are only a few .co files and only the Dectalk synth has a .co = extention. Does this perhaps mean that the software synthesizer support = is not compiled into speakup? The .config file in the speakup kernel = would seem to suggest that everything is compiled.=20 Even if sftsyn wasn't compiled into the kernel, it would still lode with = the default synthesizer if nothing was passed via grub.conf wouldn't it? = Sorry for the confusion, basically, I really want to know why = /proc/speakup doesn't exist and what I'm doing wrong. Perhaps I've = missed an important change between how speakup 2.0 did things and = speakup 3.x does things now.=20 As said earlier, I'm using a Fedora 9 machine, TTSynth as the synth and = 've verified that sound is working correctly. =20 Oh, one further thing. When I origionally tried to start the speakup = connector, it complained that pulseaudio wasn't started. I tried to = run this in daemon mode but after a while I decided to take the easier = way out and just uninstalled it. I'm kind of glad I did too! Alsamixer = seems to be much better without it. Probably for obvious reasons that I = don't yet understand.=20 Any suggestions or pushes in the right direction would be very = appreciated.=20 Darragh www.digitaldarrah.com
