Thanks, Phil. I tried the daily Sid unstable and it also has no working sound screen reader during but once finished it's there. I'll believe you about the files because I cannot find an advanced menu that installs the screen reader like Buster.had. Buster is much easier to install. I'm going to try another installer tomorrow.
