I may be clueless here, but I thought that SpeakUp was the screenreader, and eSpeak was the synth? Thanks for any clarification.

Pulseaudio takes complete control of the audio device, so when other devices try to use the soundcard through alsa things break. A work around I use is playing sound using dmix. This means a bit more processing and possibly a little latency for programs using pulse, but on the other hand it's better than broken sound. Remove package pulseaudio-alsa, which provides compatibility layer between ALSA applications and PulseAudio. After this your ALSA apps will use ALSA directly without being hooked by Pulse. Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa. Find and uncomment lines which load back-end drivers. Add device parameters as follows. Then find and comment lines which load autodetect modules. load-module module-alsa-sink device=dmix load-module module-alsa-source device=dsnoop # load-module module-udev-detect # load-module module-detect After rebooting pulseaudio won't grab the sound device, but instead plays it through dmix. hth Willem On 5/26/16, Mark Peveto wrote: > Here's the error I was talking about earlier. > > Back story: I'm trying to get console speech.
