Hi, My two machine awailable integrated sound cards Speech-dispatcher Pulseaudio awailable driver and Espeak some time producing very bad and not understandable speech output. Not have good testcase unfortunately to reproduce the problem absolute sure, my subjective hearing I think some time Espeak drastical want sending very fast speech rate the need spokening text, or possible happening some time a distortion after longer time system using. Possible happening this problem because the packaged Espeak version migrated with Pulseaudio and default applied the Libsonic support? I not tryed yet to compile a latest Espeak version from source for example the old portaudio19 library. I experienced this problem with following sound cards: 1. An integraded Intel sound card my laptop, type is following: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) 2. An integrated Nvidia chipset sound card. 3. A Creative SbLive sound card. Ubuntu 12.04 awailable Oldest Speech-dispatcher and latest awailable compiled from source Espeak test version works fine this configurations.
Few weeks ago I think I see a thread a similar problem related in Ubuntu a11y list or the Orca list, but I not remember the thread subject and to final anybody founded a solution or not. Anybody have a good ydea to I what testing before reporting this problem in Launchpad the proper component? Music playback works fine the tested sound cards with Pulseaudio, independent if Speech-dispatcher using the sound cards or not.
