I had a strange experience with my sound devices when installing Ubuntu with Orca. Also, I have a question on how to have Orca come out of a particular sound device.
First, here is my (slightly unusual) setup: - I have Windows XP Pro installed, and Ubuntu installed on a separate partition - I have an internal, built-in sound chip, as part of my desktop. I don't use this much. - I have an EMU 0202 USB sound device which I generally use for music editing and creation. - I have a SoundBlaster Live 24-bit USB device which I use for speech output from JAWS using Windows What went well: I installed Ubuntu using Orca, and speech came out of the internal sound card of my desktop computer. No problems. What went strangely: After installing Ubuntu, I restarted the computer in Ubuntu and logged into my account. Surprisingly, Orca speech came out of my EMU 0202 sound device (although the quality seems rather distorted). Questions: 1. How did this happen that Orca spoke from my internal built-in sound chip during install and then suddenly switched to my external sound device after a restart and logging in? 2. How do I make Orca come out of a specific sound device? For example, I would like Orca speech to come out of my SB Live device. Are there Orca settings for selecting the output sound device? Thanks. --Pete
