Both work in Bookworm for me. If you are still using Pulse audio instead of Pipewire, that might have something to do with it. You can read the Debian Accessibility FAQ for some ideas.
Hi, I have never gotten speech to work in a conceal unless the guy is disabled. I either have to use one or the ogther. In bulzie this was not the case, but since bookworm this does not work.

On my Bookworm system pressing alt-control-f1 takes me to a normal console. There is sometimes a delay, or the speech doesn't work right away, but the Braille shows it. Once I log in, it is tty1. The graphical console is tty7.
I thinkIt may be a bug of some sort.

Subject: Control-Alt-F1 What is it?
The Linux box I am running is a HP PC using Debian 12 or bookworm
and I have all the consoles talking. The first console is orca
and the other 4 are not orca but command-line consoles which are
nice when not needing the GUI but there is 1 mystery. Orca is
always the window that prompts for a login and, when I do that, I
can bring up the command consoles by pressing function keys Ctrl-Alt-F3
through F6 after getting pipewire set right and installing
espeakup. They all are working fine but if I press
Control-Alt-F1, I get nothing and am curious as to what that
brings up. Everything is silent and nothing at all good or bad
happens so there must be something somewhere that just doesn't
talk. Here's what the who command reported:
martin tty2 Jan 24 12:05 (tty2)
That's orca.
This next 1 is a console in which I run screen.

One would think that tty1 would be Ctrl-Alt-F1 but it's
not saying so if it is.
