Comment 5 for bug 1736222

This is also affecting me. I am running an Alienware R4 i7 with an 1070gt gpu.

Ubuntu has other sound issues with this laptop to. However randomly speech-dispatcher distorts all sound.

For me it's not a specific website the process seems to start whenever it wants, but doesn't always cause a problem.

I would like some attention on this though as it causes problems using Ubuntu to work remotely, as I need to communicate with my team and can't when speech-dispatcher causes problems. I'm using my Mac for now but would like to get this fixed for Ubuntu.

Affected both 16.04 and 18.04 on this laptop.
Killing the process resolves the issue until it next runs.
