[Bug 1736222] Re: speech-dispatcher distorts all sound

[Tommy Trussell]

Workaround: when I hear the distorted sound, I open a terminal and issue
this command

$ killall speech-dispatcher


This works until the next time I hit a web site that causes the issue. 

I don't know anything about speech dispatcher, but I wonder if multiple
speech-dispatcher processes be interfering with each other? I usually
start with

$ ps uax | grep speech

and I usually see five or six processes

twt at host:~$ ps uax | grep speech
