Hey again Bruce;

I solved this on my second Ubuntu 10.10 computer and now have a procedure and a reason for the "issue".

I can walk you through the procedure, but it is based on pulseaudio getting in the way and pulseaudio being used as the default open-java stuff. There is a much quicker way of getting around things than messing with open-java and amounts to a three step process to switch to sun-java's jre.

In short I added in a one or two extra alsa packages, and I am not sure this is needed over a default install AT ALL So skip this preliminary step unless doing the following three steps do NOT work for ya.;

1 - Enable ALL of the repos in synaptic except the source ones. This is done as selected items on TWO tabs under settings>repos.

2 - Load up sun's java6 jre and (optionally) the plugins and fonts packages (for browser usability).

3 - Run 'sudo update-alternatives --config java' and select the sun stuff. (This is why you can keep the open java stuff around....)

Then you can check the settings with 'java -version'. And, if things went well, run 'altosui' and try the voice stuff !!

Best regards;

    Hey Bruce;

    Did you ever solve your audio - altosui - ubuntu issue ? It seems
    I now have this "issue" on a second computer running ubuntu

    Did you ever find the time to pop on over to the irc channel ?

            Um... perhaps it is time to pop on over the the altus
            sponsored irc channel. One of the aussie fellows is really
            into the pulseaudio stuff. A few months back we were in a
            rather heavy discussion about it.

                Yes, still no joy. I am not aware of any other Java
                aps that need/use sound, so I dont know if its a Java
                problem.
                I do not have access to my computer att, so I cant
                double ck or toy with things right now. Will test more
                later.

                        Unfortunately, I at least don't really know
                        what to suggest.  Seems
                        highly likely that this is somehow
                        Kubuntu-specific since sound is
                        working well on other distros.

                        Does sound work from other Java applications
                        on your machine, or do you
                        know?
