I'm willing to test. Let me know when the fix makes it to the daily D-I builds and I'll download and test the latest daily CD image. If there is a way to test this on an already installed system, I'll do that as well. I assume I would purge and reinstall alsa-utils? Thanks for finally fixing this. I know this bug has caused frustration for many people. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The amixer output was after asound.state was loaded. I'm attaching my current asound.state.

Yes, and any other machine with an Audigy or Audigy II card also has this problem. Google shows many pages of people having the same or similar problems. Even when installing with hardware speech, I still get no sound when booting into the new system. Old Sound Blaster cards (before the Audigy line) don't seem to have this problem. I'm not sure about newer Creative sound cards. This isn't a problem just on my machine. If I wasn't already aware of the issue, I would assume that either software speech is broken or my sound card isn't supported. Who knows how many blind people would give up on Debian because of this. The Ubuntu live CD doesn't seem to have this problem. Thank you for looking into this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#667743: debian-installer: No sound when using software speech
Package: debian-installer Version: netboot mini-gtk 2012-04-03 X86-64 Severity: normal When booting the CD, I press s and Enter to start software speech. I get no sound. I have to go to a shell and run amixer. My sound card is a Sound Blaster Audigy using the emu_10k1 module. Apparently, Audigy/Analog digital output jack is set to on, which effectively mutes the card. This is also a problem on the Audigy 2 card. By setting it to off, I can get sound, but it's still inaudible. I have to set both the Master and PCM playback volumes to 100,100 before I can hear anything. Even then, it's very quiet. I fixed this on my regular Debian system and was eventually able to mount the partition with my previous installation. Since alsactl is present on the CD, I was able to restore my asound.state from my regular system and finally got decent volume, but only after D-I got to the partitioner. I would greatly appreciate it if something could be done to fix this. As a sidenote, I copied my good asound.state to /var/lib/alsa on the new install before I rebooted so I wouldn't have to go through the configuration process for my sound card again. The following commands seem to fix the problem: amixer cset numid=214 off amixer set Master playback 100,100 amixer set PCM playback 100,100 As per the instructions on the accessibility wiki page, I'm posting my amixer output here and on the list.
