Orca Does Not Use Voxin Voices



Hello,
I'm using Debian Bullseye, the raspberrypi version, so I can set it up for folks who only use Windows.
I gave up on the Ubuntu, I could not get it to change desktops and I could not get it to speak in the log in window to change desktops.
So, this Debian is going well except for one thing.
I have installed three different Voxin voices, one of them the IBM one.
They are all Voxin 3.4
They install okay, and the IBM one spoke after the install was finished.
They do not show up in Orca's voice settings.
I did sudo apt reinstall orca
but that didn't help.
The only two choices in the voice tab are default and espeak.
I ran spd-conf and selected voxin and alsa and it kills orca's audio, and I can toggle orca off and back on and I can then hear it.
But it is still using espeak.
I have never installed espeak or espeak-ng, and they are not installed, yet whatever comes with Orca as espeak works.
Does anyone have any ideas why the voxins don't make themselves available, even though they go through the install okay?
Thanks for any help.
