Comment 9 for bug 1074758

I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04 on a Dell Latitude laptop and am experiencing this same issue. I did find instructions on the Internet to run the following command:

sudo nano /etc/default/speech-dispatcher

And change RUN=no to RUN=yes to start system wide Speech Dispatcher.

This seemed to work, but it blew away my audio devices and substituted a Dummy entry. No sound afterwards.

I changed the value back to RUN=no, rebooted and my audio card came back. But, the shutdown/reboot lag came back as well.

Opening terminal and typing in sudo shutdown -r now or sudo shutdown now works great.

Would really like to get this fixed so I can move on with setting up this system.

I also have a Dell Dimension 4700 desktop with Ubuntu 13.04 installed on it and that system does not have this issue.
