Re: [gutvol-d] Listening to EBooks in Text Format !!!
Thanks for this post. I just checked. There are two programs for sounds control. One is called audiomix and the other is called Kmix. Volume Control in both for speakers is set at 80% and above. The sound is enabled. So, I am lost for now as to the cause of the problem.

In my experience (setting up festival on my debian laptop) the difficult part is to get the sound system working. Try some mp3 files on your computer. Unless you can play them correctly its no use trying to install festival. You'll have to get your ALSA drivers working first. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org

It seems as though the ALSA sound drivers are working, because XMMS works. But festival uses OSS. Vijay, do you have the alsa-oss emulation loaded? For example, on my machine, # lsmod | grep snd # lsmod | grep snd snd_pcm_oss 48288 0 snd_mixer_oss 17664 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_trident 39908 0 snd_ac97_codec 74040 1 snd_trident snd_pcm 83528 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_trident,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 21828 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 7620 2 snd_trident,snd_pcm gameport 3648 1 snd_trident snd_util_mem 3328 1 snd_trident snd_mpu401_uart 6336 1 snd_trident snd_rawmidi 20576 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 6988 2 snd_trident,snd_rawmidi snd 48740 9 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_trident,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 7776 1 snd If I remove the OSS emulation, festival stops working ... # modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss $ echo "Festival is great" | festival --tts Linux: can't open /dev/dsp ... and if I put it back, it works # modprobe snd-pcm-oss $ echo "Festival is great, but this is getting a little off-topic" | festival --tts Richard.
