I used to use `apulse`, a minimal layer that worked at least to have audio in firefox and other pulse-only applications. Once I wanted to activate my microphone in firefox, though, this setup did no longer work. I since installed pulse on my work laptop, while staying on alsa on my personal setups. cheers! mar77i Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
I commented some lines out in /etc/pulse/client.conf and /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. Next thing to try is install speech-dispatcher and festival and voices for festival and see if I can get spd-say talking. If so, that will mean the edits on those pulse files were adequate and then gnome and orca theoretically will install and work correctly using alsa. If I ever get this working, I'll probably get myself an arch account and write something for the wiki so others won't have to guess the way I have if they want to install gnome on archlinux and have orca talking.
