With either 32-bit or 64-bit wheezy netinst iso, you boot up, wait a few seconds, hit lower case s, enter, and you should get software speech. I don't recall, but I do think you even get a beep through your pc speaker when it's time to type s and enter, but I could be wrong there. > If it's a case of muted sound, how would I fix that?

When speech comes up on that iso, you're in the first console, which is the installer. If you want to try various commands to see if they do anything, hit alt+right-arrow to go to the second console, and press enter to activate that console. Once you do that, you'll be at a busybox shell prompt.
