Hi. debian's installer with speakup and espeakup is still text only, so the pulseaudio problem doesn't happen. Pulseaudio only becomes a problem when you log into gnome. If the pulseaudio developer took accessibility issues caused by his app seriously, then distros wouldn't have to find work a

So pulseaudio operates in easy install at adequate volume and then goes silent on boot up. Why couldn't some command be put into rc.local by the easy install script if sound gets used to adjust pulseaudio's volume to a proper level? It sounds like the developers of that package need their hea

Hi. I have no problem fixing things when pulseaudio breaks it. My only reason for starting this thread was to get this finally addressed officially in Debian for new users. It won't look good for Debian to have access to the installer only to loose it when the new system reboots. Ke

Hi. My upgrade broke my access to my system again. As usual, the problem was pulseaudio. The pulseaudio upgrade added itself to my gnome session. The result was loss of speech with orca and espeakup. My solution was to killall -9 pulseaudio and purge pulseaudio from my system. Although this fixe
