Hi John:

Are you referring to test 3 of the test-speech application (i.e., the
"speech interrupt test")?  If so, then yes, it's expected that you may
or may not hear any speech as part of this test.

It may be possible that a manual install of the desktop could have
resulted in an odd configuration.  I'm an Orca guy, though, and not
really a Ubuntu guy.  The Ubuntu guys may be able to help you with
determining if the manual install you did created some oddness (assuming
you remember the steps you took for the manual install).
