Title: Unable to Disable Text to Speech
Post by: Qubes on January 06, 2016, 09:10:11 am
Text to speech is currently activating in briefings and and in-game where there is no available voice acting. It is also activating the in the tech room.
I have nothing checked under "Use simulated speech in" in my launcher, but still text to speech activates. In options, disabling "briefing voice" or lowering the voice volume has no effect.

Can someone help me resolve this problem?


I've attached my fs2_open.log, but I'm not sure if I did it correctly.

Have you tried turning all the "use simulated speech in" options on, hitting "play", quitting FSO, then turning them all back off and hitting "play" again?

Try running wxLauncher as an administrator. If that doesn't work, you may need to do some regedit work.

I ran wxLauncher as an administrator and tried enabling and disabling "use simulated speech" but it gave the same result.

After selecting "Permissions", the "Group or user names" fields were already populated with several names. Of the 4, only "RESTRICTED" had "Read"  checked. The other names present had both "Read" and  "Full Control" checked.
The FreeSpace2 subkey and the following Network and Sound subkeys had the same names and same boxes ticked.

Should I attempt to add the "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" object and ticking "Full Control"?

If you didn't already have "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES", then yes, you should add it.

When I click "Add...", the only field to type in is labeled "Enter the object names to select".
After typing "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" in this field and clicking OK, I am given a notice that the object could not be found.
Clicking OK in the window "Name Not Found" only opens the window again.

After typing
Code: [Select]
all application packages
then hit "check name", so it can fill in the machine name etc etc for you.

Same result after clicking "Check Names".
"Name Not Found" window appears.

Windows 7 Professional

If someone who is knowledgeable with the Windows registry etc could take a look at the following thread, I think you can find a solution there:

I'm just not sure exactly what steps Qubes should take for his specific situation.

None of that seems to be relevant to Windows 7; at this point, it would be easier to simply edit the registry entries related to speech by hand.

Qubes, under your Freespace 2 registry entry, you should see a series of keys starting with "Speech". Most of them are toggles; make sure these keys are set to 0:

That's because Windows 7 doesn't have the "ALL_APPLICATION_PACKAGES" user group; I thought the post I linked had in it a way to add this group to Win 7; apparently, I read wrong.  :nervous:  My apologies.
