SpeakUp Running Issues

SpeakUp Running Issues

[JP Jamous]

I went to this URL and downloaded the I686 ISO. I burned it to a CD and
tried to boot using Michael's MP3 instructions.
 
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_for_the_blind
 
I could hear the CD spinning after executing grml swspeak. However, no sound
was coming out of the speakers.
 
I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if my sound card does not
have any drivers.
 
I am using a Dell Inspiron 1300. According to Windows XP my sound card
drivers are: Sigmatel High Definition Audiocodec. Drivers Date: 5/10/2007.
Driver version: 5.10.0.5515.
 
Under Add/Remove programs I have: Sigmatel Audio
 
I was trying to run speak up from the CD like Michael did. I did not install
it to the hard drive like the web site stated. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

You may have confused the two audio tutorials, the grml swspeak command 
doesn't relate to that CD.

For the CD you downloaded, you should just press enter and it will boot 
and speakup should load. Then you will proceed to do the install using 
the ArchLinux installer. I did do a tutorial on this method however it 
sounds like you've got the other one. The tutorial you need is 
ftp://ftp.linux-speakup.org/pub/speakup/audio/blind_archlinux.mp3.

For the tutorial you seem to have (the one using the command grml 
swspeak) you will need the GRML live CD from the GRML website 
http://www.grml.org. Someone else pointed out that I forgot about 
mentioning where you get GRML from in that tutorial, may be I need to be 
a bit more clear. Anyway the tutorial for this method is 
ftp://ftp.linux-speakup.org/pub/speakup/audio/archlinux_install_from_grml.mp3

I would say that Chris's CD (the one you got) may be easier than using 
GRML, however I think there may be reasons why using GRML may be preferred.

Hope that clears up this issue.

That's what I was worried about. Something I was doing wrong.

Thank you for the clarifications Michael.

I am booting as we speak. If it doesn't talk. Well, let me send the e-mail
before you hear me talking my way. *smiles*

Michael,

I actually remade a boot disk. I did not trust the first one I made.

Sure enough, it booted just like you did. I am going to follow your tutorial
and see what would happen. Thanks a bunch for the redirection.
