Assuming you're not using pulseaudio (which is the default for an
accessible install of Ubuntu),
open gnome-terminal and type
sudo apt-get install asoundconf-gtk
This will add a "Default Sound Card" option to your System > Preferences
menu.
In there is a combo box for picking the card you want to use. I imagine
Orca will speak through the default card. Might take a reboot.

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.
