Hi, Jude: are there two voices heard in console mode or in Mate? I ask as during installation the id of the selected card is stored in /var/run/espeakup.card, I presume to be set as default for espeakup in the installed system Samuel, is this right? But only one card id is stored so I fail to see how this can trigger two voices. But I have no idea if this setting is also used when starting Speech Dispatcher for Orca in Mate, hence my question. Also Cyril, should I assume that RC2 included a fix for the issue that I raised in this post? https://lists.debian.org/debian-accessibility/2019/06/msg00019.html I have a doubt as this iso: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/buster_di_rc2/amd64/iso-cd/debian-buster-DI-rc2-amd64-netinst.iso is dated 2019-06-24 14:13 and there are more recent post in the thread. Let me add that the issue is with a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 which is a rather common hardware. I am not directly in concern being neither blind nor a Debian user, but still I hope this can be fixed before the release for the benefit of others.

Hi Jude, Thanks for your mail. Cross-posting this answer to debian-accessibility@: Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@panix.com> (2019-06-27):First the log files I tried to get the system to save in /mnt were not saved and those choices got made using the debian main menu. I checked the disk integrity and the disk was found to be valid. I installed the mate desktop using the defaults in software selection. On boot, I get two voices first louder and second softer and playing identical text shortly after the first voice. I don't know why this is and tried adjusting sound which cleared the problem when sound volume got increased in the mate menus until the next reboot.I think this might be a side effect of our trying hard to detect each and every sound card, reading a prompt using all of them in turn, so that users can press Return when they hear something. Maybe some state in the sound card driver changes while iterating, which triggers this difference in volumes? Just wild-guessing as I'm no sound expert… Cheers,
