Steve, Sorry I didn't notice that I'd replied to you personally instead of to the list. And I'm even more sorry that I'm now stumped as to what the answer might be. For sound output I have Altec Lansing speakers. The volume has to be physically turned up on a knob but usually I use a head set to avoid disturbing my wife. The headset has to be selected in
System - Preferences - Sound - Output and the volume set. I installed festival and ran a --tts command and yet it played through the speakers. I presume this means that it bypasses the pulse audio system. It is a shot in the dark but have you tried running the command $ sudo restorespeech ? I'm trying to attach the script here. It comes with Vinux 3 but I don't think it is part of the normal Ubuntu 10.04. Put a copy in /usr/bin/ and chmod 0766 to use it. Parts of the script call programs requiring root privileges to run. However, as you already have sound a root then it may not work. Good Luck Maurice On 14 August 2010 23:26, Stephen S. Disbrow <[email protected]> wrote: > Maurice, > I did use --tts.
