However, This time, I captured some noise from dmesg, thinking that might show some more hints to who so ever may have a greater knollege of kernel internals. I loaded speakup_spkout with the start=0 option and the load was successful with a return code of 0; but when I used talkwith to specify spkout as the synth, I got the following messages in the dmesg listing. releasing synth soft unregistered /dev/softsynth synth probe Ports not available, trying to steal them Trying to free nonexistent resource <00000000000003f8-00000000000003ff> Speakout: not found spkout: device probe failed failed to init synth spkout After that, I went and reloaded softsynth and that part was fine again. I can still echo messages to /dev/ttyS0 and speakout talks that stuff with no problem so the port is actually working and all that.
