Hello there, I haven't created any espeak-ng.service file to make systemd start it at boot, when speech-dispatcher starts, espeak-ng starts as well or something. I used arch's new guided install script, or archinstall, which simplified a lot of things for me. I tried with pulseaudio and pipewire and it worked no matter what. I just use pipewire because I find it more likable. Best regards. francisco.
