Hmm, how does your /etc/asound file look, or ~/.asoundrc file? > > There was a long discussion about that last issue on the emacspeak list; it > seems only to affect certain sound cards/drivers and there were work-arounds. I will write to the emacspeak and speakup lists then. Surely if there is a way to force espeak to use pulseaudio the problem would be entirely resolved. I even tried building espeak with pulseaudio only, but it still seems to be throwing errors, so not sure what is going on... > > I don't know what to suggest.

While on vacation time it's fine to use just orca and to deal with these emacspeak bugs, but when I need to do more heavy work next year might need to revert back to alsa. Thanks for your help.
