Any one on the list got sound working in squeeze? Was working in lenny but no joy now. Google turns up lots of instances of no sound but no information on getting it working. The card is listed in the hardware but running speaker-test gives me silence. In case it matters, the card is an audagy 2.

I know that related questions are allowed, but what is "related"? In the last days we had at least 50% of OT subjects, and I think we should try to reduce this on a reasonable level. Note: I don't want to start a flame war here, but I want you to think about it, and perhaps the moderators give a statement too. Hermann ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I do recall that Kirk had posted a message addressing this subject once upon a time, but after searching the archives for close to an hour, I can't find that post to save my life. Maybe another list veteran will be able to find that post in the archives, and post a url to it, or maybe Kirk himself will respond. What I'm about to state is as far as I can recall it, and let me stress that I don't mean to speak for Kirk here in anyway, I simply wish to reiterate what Kirk has said on this topic, as far as I can remember it, to address the just raised concern. - From what I can recall, Kirk has said in the past, that he generally will not play policeman here, unless that is warranted, which has only happened once as far as I can recall in the 7 or so years that I've been a member of this list. As for topic, from what I recall, Kirk has said in the past, that gnu/linux/unix is fine, as well as speech/screen readers under gnu/linux/unix. If my memory is correct, that's a very broad range of allowed topics, and as far as I can remember all recent posts on this list, including the one you were replying to, fall well within that range. Again, I don't wish to speak for Kirk, I'm only stating what I can recall as best as I can recall it. I'm sure that if I just said something improperly, or something that I shouldn't have said, I'll be corrected by the captain himself, or by someone with more authority than myself on what the list rules are. Kirk, if you want to respond, and post some loose general list guidelines, that could be fleshed out, I'd be willing to create a page with that info for the web site, so that there is a reference to settle issues like this one once and for all.

I think it would be a good idea to have some kind of list guidelines posted somewhere even if they were to say everything goes so that people would be able to make an informed decision as to whether they want to join or not. For me personally, I joined with the idea that this was a list about Speakup specifically and that maybe every once in a while Linux or Linux access questions for the blind might come up from time to time. But honestly, I would not have joined if I knew floods of Mac OS X with other screen reader hand holding would hit my mailbox with no kibosh put on it. Now, I am certainly not telling anyone how I think the list should be run at all. I am just saying that I would have liked to know that ahead of time so I could have made a more informed decision about whether to sign up or not. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Hi, Well, since no one else bothered to answer, I'll try. I can't help specifically with Debian testing, but I suspect the sound card is the problem. I also got no sound on Lenny when I put in that card. What you have to do is go into amixer and make sure analog output is on. By default, it uses digital output only which gives no sound. You should only have to do that once because it should save your mixer settings automatically. I can't give the exact command because I couldn't figure it out. I went back to the older Audigy instead. You'll just have to look at the controls and try things until it works. To the people complaining about this message being off topic, I have a question. How is he supposed to use software speech, either in Orca or Speakup if he has no sound?

Ubuntu is silly and mutes the soundcard by default and so maybe Debian too?? I just wanted to make it clear that I agree that obviously getting sound working is totally relevant to getting speakup to work and so I hope my post didn't imply that it is off topic.
