I'm not sure it's accurate to say grml picks the "wrong" sound card. It is kind of your responsibility to either connect to the sound card it has found or use a program like amixer to change it. What I often do in a situation like this is to plug a headset into every possible port and just listen to the screen reader on whatever port the system has found first.

Hi John,
tried with 2017.05. that works now. at least on a hp probook 650 g2. though espeak seems to spew out a bunch of error messages when using by itself that it can't find jack and other parts. though espeakup seems to work fine. the hp probook is also a different computer with just one sound card.
i guess it might be difficult when you have multiple cards or hdmi connectors which also provide sound output. i have one of those machines and i have some trouble with that. the system seems to select the wrong one and so you haven't any sound at all. i guess the only solution would be braille on that machine or ssh. or is there a program or script to select more than one soundcard?
btw can you have a look at a daily build? i don't know if those do fine as well.
Btw i wasn't lucky with the ssh server. Ssh=password seems not to work at the boot prompt. Though starting the ssh server manually and setting the password works.
Greetings and thanks, Simon

I was able to boot the grml64-full_2017.05.iso in a virtualbox virtual machine and got speech. I have not tried the 32 bit image. I can probably try the 32 bit image if necessary. But you should first try to provide more information. Try enabling ssh when you boot and then cut/paste the results of the commands you are using to start speakup.

Hi all,

There seems to be a problem with the sound system or espeak/espeak-ng.
Would be cool if someone could fix it.
I guess if espeak could talk again then speakup should talk again as well.
Greetins and thanks,
Simon
