I had audio through the installation with the live DVD. When I booted up and came to the log in screen, I did Super-S and control + S, and then had audio, but it was very slow and choppy. After booting in, there was no audio, I could not get Orca to run, or it was running with no audio. I could get no sound with a backspace in an edit field. I shut it down, and this time when I restarted the speech was faster and not choppy. But I still have no audio after logging in. I tried the audio buttons on the side of the computer, and I tried control + Super up arrow. Is there a command to un-mute audio, in case it is muted, or a way to load another sound driver? Thanks.

It has a Celeron Mobile 900 MHZ processor and 1GB of RAM. Ubuntu XP-Like version 10.04 runs good on it, but every time I try to install Voxin for Orca, it seems to install, but I get the message that speech-dispatcher is not included in this version, which comes after the Voxin install. I hear the IBM voice speaking during the install, and I log out and back in, and no Voxin. So I'm looking for another distro for this notebook. It has a 4GB HD, so something like Lubuntu would be good. I tried booting to that, but either Orca would not boot as usual, or it has the latest kernel which does not like this processor. I also cannot boot into Sonar or F123. I want a GUI. I was wondering about Arch, and then installing a GUI but I'm not sure how involved that is. I'm looking for suggestions here. Thanks.

I have Compiz 0.9.7 on Ubuntu 12.04. If you want a newer version; start with a newer verison of Ubuntu, enable backports, maybe add an untrusted PPA from Launchpad. If you are despirate for the latest and the greatest you will have to get involved with development - and be prepared fro breakages. > In parallel, how can I do this for Emerald?
