resetting audio in gnome

[Herzog]

I think I know of an easy way to do a reinstall, but one must be able to 
see to do it.
If one goes to the add/remove programs, simply unchecking orca and 
rebooting will remove it.  Then going to the same box, and checking it, 
and after a time (I don't know, maybe 5 minutes?) Rebooting and Orca 
should be reloaded, just like it was when first came.
   I have to fill in a username, and password, without ever hearing 
anything.
Then run mouse up to Applications, in top left corner, and then down 7 
arrows to add/remove.
Then I get a list of all available programs. I see to click 
acessibility, and then note ORCA as checked, and It was working this 
afternoon, but not now!!
So I may have to try something more also!!  This has come and gone 
before, and I know not why.  Sorry.
