If this happens with Ubuntu but not with Kubuntu, then one relevant difference is the use of pulseaudio by default on Ubuntu only. I'm subscribing Luke Yelavich to this bug to have a look, since he's our a11y and audio expert.
Also, FWIW I'm unable to reproduce the problem in question here, so this is probably a hardware-dependent problem. ** Package changed: espeak (Ubuntu) => portaudio19 (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: portaudio19 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: portaudio19 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- espeak sound doesn't play correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354522 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
