Hi,
In Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit I assist a sighted person with using Ubuntu.
After I did Alt+F2 and typed 'orca' Orca starts but after 10 or 20
seconds Orca quits. with the help of the sighted person I ceck the
screen reader in System settings > Universal access and Orca was working
well.
Maybe this can help?

Why not rm -rf ~/.local/share/orca and try again before messing with Pulse.
Pulse is designed to just work and it sounds like it is doing just that.
You could rm -rf ~/.pulse as well if you wanted.
Are you starting speech in consoles before any of this takes place
subsequently?

Hi Jude,
Interesting...
How might I do this at a CLI with no speech?
If the commands are not too lengthy, I might succeed.

Very probably a pulseaudio problem. Another list I read had a person
downgrade pulseaudio and all associated utilities and that's how he got
orca working again. That was on the sonargnulinux e-mail list too.

Subject: Orca does not speak
Hi,
I am using Ubuntu 16.04 64 on an Intel NUC PPYH with 8GB of RAM.
I have run Ubuntu on this 15.1064 bit already, so this should work.
I ran Orca on start up, and set up the voice like I usually do, but on
okaying it, Orca shuts down, it says:
screenreader off
So I log out, and get the bongo sound, and bring up Orca in the log in
window, and Orca stays on.
This is a live version on an SD card with a persistent file.
I have noticed, that when I log out, before the bongo sound, Orca says:
screenreader off
Then Orca comes on again for the log in window, and stays on.
When I log back in, there is no speech.
But that would indicate that Orca is working, but silent.
Is there a way I can make Orca louder?
If I do:
control + alt + T
and then type:
sudo speaker-test -c 2
I get the speaker test
and I end it with control + C
So I know that my system is not muted and the volume is okay when I log
in.
I wonder if there is a problem with eSpeak?
One difference I did between the speech settings in the log in window, and
when I was in the desktop, was that I selected U.S. English in the synth
list, instead of the standard English, which I left alone for the log-in
window.
Could this be a problem for eSpeak?
If I need to change that back, can someone send me the number of tabs to
get to the voice selection list?
Or is there a command to setting Orca to its defaults?
I sent this problem to the Orca list, but have heard nothing there.
Thanks for any help.
