+If software speech synthesis does not work, there is most probably an issue
+with your sound board, usually because either the driver for it is not included
+in the installer, or because it has unusual mixer level names which are set to
+muted by default. You should thus submit a bug report which includes the output
+of the following commands, run on the same machine from a Linux system which is
+known to have sound working (e.g., a live CD).
