If this is the case, and you're logging into the desktop, pulseaudio may not be allowing espeakup to speak, because espeakup wants to use alsa directly. When your virtual machine boots, do a ctrl+alt+f1 to go to the first text console. Does speakup speak at that point if you try to use speakup's review commands? To find out which modules are loaded, you'd use the lsmod command. Something like: lsmod >lsmod.txt at the shell prompt should dump a list of the currently loaded modules into lsmod.txt. Do you have a way to move that file from the virtual machine to the host? Something like this should be possible under virtualbox for example with a shared folder.
