Pipewire and Orca and audio

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi,


I am also on a fresh install of Fedora Mate Compiz 35, and I have speech 
in the GUI, haven't looked at the console yet, and honestly, I have no 
need. If, as I suspect, I am also running Pipewire here, I really don't 
think it's the issue.


Warm regards,
