This should still work. |

speechd-up is currently broken unfortunately, and |

speech-dispatcher-0.7.1 is not set up to run as a system service. |

I am working, among other things, on fixing speechd-up. I'm also on the |
14 |
speech-dispatcher dev team, and I can tell you that running as a system |
15 |
service will be back for 0.8, but you may not need that if I get the |
16 |
fixes I want into speechd-up before that. |

Another project I am working on is speakup, which will, hopefully, be a |
19 |
part of the staging drivers in the official linux kernel starting with |
20 |
2.6.37-rc1. |

From the way you are describing the issues you are having with the |
23 |
live cd, it sounds like your sound card channels are muted. |

Do you know which channels need to be unmuted for your card? |
