Hi all,

I want to call voice function using win32ole under cygwin. But Ruby
always stops working and a new window pops up the error message. I
wonder how to fix it.

Thanks,

Li

irb(main):004:0> v.speak('hello')


Error message in the pop windows:
Ruby interpreter (CUI) 1.8.7.o [i386-cygwin] has stopped working.

Does Cygwin have proper sound drivers installed? Does it know how to
send the sound out?
