I did that but still no speech. I even rebooted to start from scratch. > Apart from that, I'm out of ideas. Me too! However, I solved it! :) I installed brltty via ssh and passed the display to the VM to be able to read the console. I logged in on the console and ran a sound test: $ sound-test -c 2 I could indeed hear sound. So, this tells me that sound channels is unmuted by the installer or a script. I actually ran the test just after a reboot without doing anything with amixer. Ok, I could hear sound but no speech. What the heck? So, I thought why don't I just try to restart espeakup? $ systemctl restart espeakup Wolla! Speakup started talking! I ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade just to pull in new packages (I'm running sid after all). I got updates to some alsa packages. Since this is a VM and a test machine I simply hit Y and enter. I lost speech after the upgrade of alsa packages. I'm not sure to blame the alsa upgrades because I believe there also were some sound libraries upgraded. I restarted espeakup again and speech was back. I have now put the systemctl restart espeakup command in /etc/rc.local. I have rebooted a couple of times for testing and I get speech every time. Speakup/eSpeakup starts reading when the login prompt is displayed. This makes sense since rc.local is started very late in the process. Thanks!
