Normally if you install with speech, the levels during the installer

speakup shortcut) will get propagated.
So you were actually talking about the volume of the orca speech at the
lightdm session banner? Please always be really precise when reporting
bugs, otherwise it's a pain to try to divine which information we are
missing.
Sorry if that was not clear, I thought I was specific enough. I'll try
to explain better in future ;-).
Now, after a reboot of the new installed VM, a file
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state does exist. But still volume is to low to
hear the speech output.
Sure, the file is just recording the level that you are getting by
default from the sound card driver.
OK. but why did I not have this volume problem before? I have not tested
it, but I can't remember this problem with Debian Buster. I always got
systems where volume was loud enough to start working with Orca without
a problem and without the need to increase the volume manualy.
If you like I can install a fresh Debian Buster to reproduce if the same
problem does occure or not.
