Re: [solved] espeak error - no sound

It would help immensely if you posted some more info about which sound program you're using (I think you're on alsa alone, correct?).  Do you use more than one soundcard?  Post the output of

lspci -v|grep -i snd 

What have you tried?  Are you sure your speakers are unmuted?  Do you get sound otherwise?

Re: [solved] espeak error - no sound

im glad that you wrote me moonswan,

lspci -v|grep -i snd 
	Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
	Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel
	Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
	Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel
	Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
	Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel

im on alsa alone, vlc and other prog. are working fine.
my system is fresh installed no fancy stuff installed, just wine for playing games.
wine sound works fine, but not together with non-wine application.

if i play games on wine i get on vlc:
Audio output failed:
The audio device "sysdefault:CARD=PCH" could not be used:
Device or resource busy.

i dont know if that has something to do with my problem with espeak

Re: [solved] espeak error - no sound

I looked at this wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Speech_Recognition and it seems to be a more or less complete "how-to" around enabling speech in Linux.

This may also be relevant:  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ta … rom_the_CD and specifically item #5 and #6.  This community also has its own IRC (#talkingarch on irc.netwirc.tk) channel if you wish to talk to them because I'm sure they'll be far more knowledgeable than I.
