pulseaudio turkeys up settings on sound card after gdm starts and once that happens speakup no longer works on the machine until debian gets reinstalled. If this will be possible in the future, I predict getting into speakup root first and increasing and unmuting all playback settings on sound card and doing alsactl store then removing all of pulseaudio will be necessary after installation of software and the first boot into the graphical user interface. Probably enabling speech-dispatcher and running orca -t in speakup root session would help too but I'll have to find that out later with a diffferent hard drive. If not pulseaudio, something is muting sound card extensively as gnome starts or before gnome starts. I may be able to debug more of this with some interested linux-capable sighted assistance which for me is rather local. more later.
