Interesting, I have not modified /etc/default/espeakup but it does not seem
to specify a card:
ALSA_CARD=""
Oh? were you installing with speakup enabled during installation?
Yes I was
Uh, that's odd then. Was the VOICE variable also not set?
Yes,
VOICE=en
unless it was because the installer only detected one of the cards?
No, in my tests even in that case it would write the ID.
That's where specifying either MID or DGX instead of 0/1 allows to avoid
relying on the ordering.
OK, thank you, so do I just need to specify in /etc/default/espeakup
Yes, that's it!
Sorry for the noise but I have probably been going about this in the
wrong way.
So I have now specified MID in /etc/default/espeakup and that does cause
espeakup to start with speech each time the system boots.
However, the card ordering is still very random which means that
although espeakup is always working, if the cards load so that MID is
not 0, I get no other system sounds and orca does not work in the gui.
So, I suppose what I should be trying to achieve is to cause the sound
cards to retain their correct numbering so that all sound works
following a reboot.
