Re: Activation of Speech Dispatcher under squeeze

Hi,
I suggest that one way to ensure a sane configuration of speech-dispatcher in .speech-dispatcher is to run spd-conf from the shell. The configuration file actually needs to be in .speech-dispatcher/conf, which that script will take care of for you among other things. 
Try that and see how it goes?

Hi.  Looks like just editing a speechd.conf I copied to ~/.speech-dispatcher wasn't enough to get it working
I only changed the default audio from pulse to alsa.

I am really starting to think the best answer for all this mess is to downgrade to speech-dispatcher 0.6.

Hi.  No, all I get is silence trying to play a wav file with paplay.
Looks like that might be the issue.
I installed pavucontrol, but it says there are no devices.

I don't want to use a .asoundrc.  I will not for any reason break my alsa output.
If pulseaudio can't get along with my other apps running
alsa, then time to switch speech-dispatcher to alsa for output.
I stopped running Ubuntu because of pulseaudio.  I will not allow pulseaudio to break my access to Debian as well!

Hi Kenny,
can you play sounds using paplay?
You can find some wav files in /usr/share/sounds
Try to play these with paplay.
In my kvm machine, pulseaudio output was muted.
I have created a custom .asoundrc file and used alsamixe to unmute it.
contents of the ~/.Asoundrc file is:

pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
}

ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}

HTH.
