message from Lewis Pike <[email protected]> to festival-talk = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Thanks for the suggestion as it led me in the right direction. As it turns out I must have done something similar in a previous installation of festival. It appears that I must have appended the following commands to my .festivalrc file located in my home directory.
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "aplay -D plug:dmix -q -c 1 -t raw -f S16_BE -r $SR $FILE") (Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'Audio_Command) (Parameter.set 'Audio_Required_Format 'snd) It seems that this .festivalrc was still lingering in my home directory. Commenting out the above commands seems to solve my problem, but unlike you, I am still able to get sound to playback. I'm not sure why I would have added the above commands in the first place, but on my machine it appears that they are not necessary. .Lewis On Sat, Jun 11, 2011 at 10:54 PM, Cherrot <[email protected]> wrote: > I have the same environment as yours when compiling Festival 2.1. > Have you modified the festival.scm or other configuration files which > Festival use to initialize itself?
