Luke I don't know if this will be much help
There was no log, so I reinstalled speech-dispatcher. Initially sound was OK, but when I started speech-dispatcher, speaker-test failed: david@david-samsung:~$ speaker-test speaker-test 1.0.24.2 Playback device is default Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels Using 16 octaves of pink noise ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy d log file is attached. I then killed speech-dispatcher, but speaker-test still gives the same error, and there is no sound on the speaker.
