Re: espeakup stops speaking D-i bookworm amd64 on 11gen Lenovo Carbon X1

[Tom Moore <tommym2006@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I have noticed Speakup being unstable on Arm64 as well.
This seems to be limited to this arch from what I can tell.
Amd64 works fine.
One thing I notice is that the first 10th of a second or so the speech 
cuts off.
For example when reading by character half of the character is not 
spoken by speakup.

My exact setup is a Vmware fusion guest on an m2 pro based mac.
