Sound Problems Continue on Netbook

[Dave Hunt]

Hi, List!

I have been running Netbook Remix much of today.  After installation, I updated speech dispatcher 
and espeak with those in the Vinux Karmic repository.  Also, I removed 
/etc/pulseaudio/pulse_a11y_nostart" and rebooted.  Orca is a bit more responsive than 
it was when I was using Vinux Lucid.  However, I cannot use the machine for long without the sound 
degenerating  to either a loud, unstopable bunch of static or looping one sylable.  When this happens, I 
can only stop the machine by powering down.  

I'm at a loss for what next to do.  Should I try replacing dispatcher with Gnome Speech?  
Speakup with Flite?  Change distros?  What else?


Looking forword to your ideas,

Dave
