I was able to install it with the speech so it hasn't broken that, and. Plus olka works, so there's nothing wrong. , are you using version 11?

Subject: One of the latest Debian update broke speech output :-(

 

Hi,

one of the latest updates for my system, latest Debian Bullseye,  broke
speech output on my system. I do have the normal Debian repos activated,
aditionaly I am using debian backports. Yesterday everything was fine
but today there is no more speech output for a normal user and I ha ve
not rebooted my systems.

Because I need speech in console and orca I am running pulseaudio in the
not recommented daemon mode. My normal user and also the
speech-dispatcher user are members of the pulseaudio and
pulseaudio-access group. I can run a spd-say as root and speech is
there, but as a normal user running spd-say produces no output and the
program is hanging.

Has anyone an idea whats going on there?

If more information about my setup are needed just let me know.

Cheers and thanks for any idea to get a propper working system back,
