orca not recognising my sound card?

[J. T. Laurie]

Hello all,
I am attempting to run ubuntu 6.10 from the live cd. upon starting up normally, my sound card works fine, but when I attempt to use orca, no joy.
There are no error messages and enable speech is checked.
I have a  real tech high definition audio card. that is all that shows up in windows device manager. I do not know how to force ubuntu to realise I have a sound card and let orca start speaking. Volume was at maximum, so that wasn't the issue.
Any help is appreciated.
Cordially,
Taylor
Hallelujah, the great storm is over. lift up your wings and fly!
