We need more details, such as lspci, kernel logs about possibly loading
a kernel, etc.

Hi Samuel. Thanks, that was very helpful. I'm using an older HP stream 
laptop. When I used the net installer to install bookworm, it saw my 
internal card, but the latest testing image didn't so I had to use an 
USB speaker it did see. After installing the system did come up talking 
from my internal sound card though so I assumed it was fine because Orca 
had no problems. After reading your message I booted using my USB 
speaker and found speakup works fine through that speaker. So for some 
reason it's not working with my internal sound card which is working 
because Orca speaks on the login screen.

Did you check the audio volumes?

Perhaps also check what

journalctl -u espeakup

has to say.

Is there a program in Debian that will tell me the sound card this 
computer has? If not, I'll look it up and let you know.

Ah, then espeakup is kept configured to use that card. Change ALSA_CARD
in /etc/default/espeakup


the latest testing image didn't [see my internal card]

Then as usual we need more information on your internal card, to know
what could be missing inside the installer, such as firmware or whatnot.

It's an intel pch card if that can help you guys. Thanks again for your 
help. This should solve my problem. The reason I was enterested in 
automatic detection is because I want to put Debian on a portable drive 
to use it on different computers, but I can see your reasons for doing 
it this way.

It actually is on purpose that espeakup sticks to the card that was used
on installation, to avoid spuriously changing card when the user plugs a
USB card.

Hi, I looked at an install of bookworm I did on an external hard drive. 
It says, alsa card=pch. I'll switch to this, thanks for your help. Maybe 
a feature could be added to detect different cards automatically?
