Sometimes a bluetooth dongle is needed and sometimes not if one of those is part of your hardware. Whichever the case may be, see if you can get the version of the bluetooth card and if that version is less than 3.0 that could be some or all of your problem. On Fri, 18 Nov 2016, Jude

Hi Luke and All, I could not find any audio settings that would allow me to change this. Could it also be that it has to do with the fact that it's Bluetooth 3.0? Also, I looked on the applications tab of the sound in hardware, and there is a bunch of speech dispatchers, and they all are not

Hi All, After the latest of my attempts I tried from here, I still have no Orca, and sound tests yield nothing either. I hear pops while Ubuntu is starting. Anyone know how to get the audio back to defaults so I may get this thing working again? I'll have to type into a terminal without speech,
