I'm actually using the DECtalk Express. I installed Debian unstable a long time ago, so it's possible that I ran into a bug which is now fixed. I'm pretty sure it installed kernel 3.2, but I would have to check. Since I had no serial support, I installed with software speech, so speakup_soft is loaded at boot. X is also loaded, but I don't have speech in X, so I don't think that's an issue. The broken X is apparently my fault as I installed the gnome-desktop metapackage after D-I, so it doesn't bring in Orca automatically. If I go to a regular console and login as root, I get software speech with Speakup. If I kill espeakup and unload speakup_soft, no problem. As soon as I load speakup_dectlk, the system completely locks up. I know it's locked up because I can't reboot. Trying to play any sound or calling espeak by itself to produce speech results in silence. I have to do a hard reset. I haven't tried it on my Wheezy server with kernel 3.2 because I don't want it going down. I do need to do a fresh install of Wheezy though to see if some of these issues got fixed. I didn't report it as a bug because I assumed it had to do with the broken serial support. I can also add that I did test hardware speech with both the Ubuntu and Wheezy live CDs. I don't remember the Ubuntu version, but it was recent. I think it was 12.04 or 12.10, but I don't remember. On the Wheezy live CD, it definitely had kernel 3.2. Since it doesn't load any Speakup modules by default, it didn't lock up, but it didn't talk either. I had to install espeakup by hand which brought in the espeak packages and seemed to work. Since Squeeze still worked reliably, I used that for the install to the server. I still run 2.6.32 on my other Linux partition and hardware speech works fine with my DECtalk Express.
