Hi, After doing some test installations it appears that now sound is
totally broken in the console even when on a fresh installation on a
system where previously sound worked regardless of if you were in the
mate desktop and the console but only one at a time now I only get
speech in the mate desktop and in the console the same thing no speech
and the alsa mixer is down when I try to run it. What information can
I provide to help resolve these issues? Nick Gawronski

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
