no speech in the console but speech in the mate desktop under Trixie
Hi, I am not sure what update caused this issue to happen but now if I
boot into a console I get no speech from espeakup. If I try espeakup or
any console based audio program. I am able to boot into the mate
desktop by starting the lightdm service and orca runs just fine but at a
very low volume. Once I am in the mate desktop I go to a terminal and
run alsamixer and set it back to %100 and then run as root alsactl store
to save the settings and again I have to do this over and over. If I
ssh into my linux system and run alsamixer when the mate desktop is not
active and run alsamixer as root I get the message that the mixer device
is down. When I also try to access the speakup console with control and
alt and f1 in the mate desktop I also get no speech. This is why I
usually have the mate desktop disabled as i have never managed to get
both espeakup and orca working when I would like to do this. Other then
a complete reinstallation what can I do to fix this issue? Nick Gawronski
