Samuel, I get confused with speakup and speechd-up. I've run systemctl status espeakup And received notice that espeakup is running. Is there a command to unmute the audio?

Debian has been providing the speakup kernel modules for a long time already, no need for anything complex. Just installing espeakup should get everything working. > [1]https://github.com/linux-speakup/speakup/blob/main/INSTALLATION That's only when you want to use a newer version of speakup.

As usual: what does he get as error message etc.? Normally espeakup is actually even started by systemd already, so systemctl status espeakup should be telling you what is happening. Note: the audio mixer needs to be non-muted of course. Samuel
