On Debian Bookworm, I can get this to work by getting rid of pulseaudio. /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf has this line AudioOutputMethod pulse Pipewire is running and has a process called 'pipewire-pulse'. ps -ef|grep pulseYou should find '/usr/bin/pipewire-pulse' running, it emulates what Pulse audio did.
Make sure you have a way to get into your system if speech dies, such as Braille or SSH.
You can do apt purge pulseaudioNot knowing anything about your configuration, I can't say what might happen, so be careful.

Hi, I am still trying to get this to work and am not sure who to file the proper bugs to about this so is there a place that this can be done as I kind of see this as a major issue that needs to be looked into as I am sure that it is possible?

To get there I just include in a file named/etc/speechd-up.conf this line: ALSA_CARD=PCHThen this fie is sourced by the script that starts speechd-up (attached).I do something similar for espeakup (script also attached)I assume that something similar could be done with systemd. "I assume" as Inever configured systemd. Cheers, Didier
