re: espeakup

[Mark Peveto]

Here's the error I was talking about earlier.

Back story:  I'm trying to get console speech.  Since i can't right now, 
I'm doing this from a terminal, which reads badly. Once I type sudo 
espeakup, it'll read the top of the console screen, and the login prompt 
asking for a username.  After that it gives an error which i'll post.  I 
know it's a pulseaudio problem.  Most suggest I get rid of pulseaudio, 
and if that's the only solution there is, I guess i'll have to, but that 
creates more problems when it comes to having the system rediscover new 
sound drivers.  Long explanation short, it jacks things up!

Error follows.

[southernprince@roxie ~]$ sudo espeakup
[sudo] password for southernprince:
[southernprince@roxie ~]$ Assertion 'p' failed at pulse/simple.c:273, 
function pa_simple_write(). Aborting.

It should be noted here that the error does not appear until I start to 
type.  It reads the login prompt, and once i hit the s for 
southernprinc, my username, the error appears.  If I could figure out 
how, I might turn keyecho off, which I wanna do anyway, but I don't know 
if that'd help anything.

There ya have it folks.

Hi.
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.

Well crud, tried it, and no sound or speech.  *sigh*
Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Re: espeakup

[Jude DaShiell]

Once pulseaudio is removed from a machine, running alsactl init should 
initialize all sound cards to default values.  The pulseaudio-alsa 
package has to be deliberately installed on talkingarchlinux at least I 
don't know what sonar or manjaro or f123 do.

Re: espeakup

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

Espeakup is the interface between speakup and espeak--the screen reader and 
synth, respectively. 

Re: espeakup

[Willem Venter]

Hi Mark.
I'm not sure why this did not work for you. My info comes from this page.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio
I have successfully used the dmix method on archlinux and also debian.

This specific method relies on pulseaudio to still be installed.

I've got the talking arch iso here, but when I tried to boot it from

Re: espeakup

[Jude DaShiell]

You have to wait for that distro to start talking and I do mean wait a 
few minutes after you hit enter after booting the distro.  It is probing 
all of your sound cards, and even if you have usb speakers attached, 
talkingarch will find them and will offer you the opportunity to use 
them.  Hope this helps.

Can you get access to the files on the disk? You might try deleting
some of the user pulseaudio configs.

Hmm, sorry about that, folks.  I was replying to another message that had deleted before I could hit reply, and so my reply got sent to the wrong list.
*sigh*  I should go back to bed.

Re: espeakup

[Mark Peveto]

I'm trying to run espeakup on a manjaro based system.  It and pulseaudio aren't getting along.  As soon as i can recreate the error, I'll send the exact
text.  Many suggest getting rid of pulseaudio, but when I try that it blows my sound all to heck.  I'll write again with the exact error text.

I don't think Bill ever updated the src available there.

Hello,

I'm looking for espeakup. I'm wanting source so I can compile it
trying to get a distro talking.

Thanks.
Dave.

Well, since I couldn't resolve the issues with using my doubletalk lt at 
boot for the time being, I decided to try espeakup. This was so easy!!! 
All I did was install espeakup, add speakup_soft start=1 to /etc/modules 
and reboot. Very nice!!! I'm also using espeak with orca and so far I'm 
extremely happy with it. In fact, when I logged in to gnome and orca 
started automatically and speech began, speakup, which was still reading 
some of the boot information, didn't even miss a beat and it stopped 
reading bootup information and began reading what I was typing immediately 
when I switched to a text console and started typing. It also doesn't show 
any kind of conflicts so far when using it along with brltty. It's true 
that it doesn't start speaking as early as would a hardware synth working 
from the kernel or initrd but it is working very impressively so far for 
me!!!
