Paul,
Thanks - Your suggestion worked well. The only issue was that I had to guess at which was the correct sound card. Instead of listing the devices by name (i.e., "Sb Live", "EMU 0202", etc.), I was presented with a combo saying USB external ichen PulseAudio USB seemed to be selected (this must have been my EMU 0202 USB device), so I switched to "external" and sound came out of my SB Live USB device. Thanks again. --Pete From: Paul Hunt [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 10:56 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Using Multiple Sound Cards 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.

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: 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? 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?
